I can’t find any evidence that the triangular-prismatic rock at the top centre of this image even existed before Sol 1292 (apparently visible on the left hump on the horizon in this image)… are the Martians watching us???

(To be clear, I am joking here. I just think it’s really neat to see how many of these cobble and boulder-studded slopes on the Jezero rim produce these angular and seemingly resistant forms. Martian hills and mountains are pretty rounded in general - I’d hardly expect to find the Matterhorn in these ancient landscapes - but erosion has a way of surprising you in this place…

    Wouldn’t want to catch your spacesuit on that ;) Have to use some of your expensive duct tape :)
