The Gator-Back Rocks of Mars
Wind-sharpened rocks known as ventifacts cover this broad sloping plain in the foothills of Mount Sharp, Gale crater, Mars. Dubbed gator-back rocks, their rugged, scaly appearance is captured in these digitally stitched Mastcam frames from the Curiosity rover. Driving over gator-back rocks before has resulted in damage to the rover's wheels. Curiosity team members decided to turn around and take another path to continue the rover's climb.
