Perseverance has started to core the top of the ‘Mount Meeker’ target, its coring bit is placed a little to the left of the ‘Dragons Egg’ abrasion patch that the rover has been inspecting for several sols. For scale the diameter of the drill bit is ~25mm (1 inch). Processed F-L HazCam image from Sol 862 (July 25, 2023).
