I bet they would have gotten Oppy out of there. Trenching its wheels as it slowly zig-zagged up the slope?
If Opportunity had landed in there, I bet it would have knocked down a few rocks on the way down. If not and they could not image the bed rock, we would be wondering what all the blueberry’s are (we still are, but we wouldn’t know they are also found in the bedrock). We would also be wondering why there weren’t loose rocks at the bottom, not knowing they weather quickly.
The layering above would also tease us.
It would be an interesting view, looking up from the bottom.
The bedrock seems as if it is only at the top layer. Could this be more evidence that it is fossilized marine deposits?
It looks like sections of the wall fell recently and then the quick dissolving of the bedrock released dark blueberries.
