It would appear the Left side was brushed first. But there may be a complicated RAT history not revealed by the images.

BTW, Robert's spectral analysis showed that the left side, is still very blue. How far down does the blue go, I wonder. Is the color different in a cosmic radiation shadow? Just testing an idea. That's why I was talking about turning a rock over, it's what I would do if I was there, but the rovers would have a hard time doing this to even the smallest rock. To that end, I did a partial look through pancam raws to look for rocks turned over by the tires in the tracks. No luck so far.

Hope your travels are going well, Nick.
