Just a few sols after successfully sealing the challenging Green Gardens core, Perseverance roved on to the Broom Point workspace to collect another sample called Main River.

A color close-up photo from the Martian surface shows a circular impression on the flat, hard-looking stone surface, colored brownish-tan, which takes up almost all the image frame. The impression dimensions — its depth compared to its circumference — resembles that of a pie tin. The color of the terrain exposed in the impression is a pale warm tan, much lighter than the surrounding rock. The impression is fractured, in a crack straight down its middle. Another small crack points from the center toward the 4 o’clock position in the circle. To the right of that, the rest of the circle is cleaved off, and the entirety of about one-third of the right side of the circle is missing past a zig-zag line, running from about 1 o’clock to 5 o’clock, leaving an edge that descends below the surface, about twice the depth of the original impression.

Remember that rock, made up of tiny spherules, which #Perseverance saw the other sol? Here is one somewhat similar, now seen by #Curiosity:

"The two rocks right in front of us are different from anything that we have looked at before on the mission, so we are eager to know what they are."

Another day, another drive for Perseverance rover. This short drive was completed during mission sol 1445 (March 14, 2025). Arriving at site 70.0.

Attached is a roughly processed post-drive 4-tile L-NavCam image, the drive data and screen capture of the mission map. The dogleg traverse distance was just 6.45 meters (~21 ft) west-northwest. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA.

Ah, yes, one hour later that fragment was gone, which explains the empty look in the face of the bit 🙃 😀.

But the question remains. What's so important with this rock that they decided to core it again?
