To my knowledge, the rover has not yet examined the bedrock basaltic dunes that lie under the evaporite sequence. This is crucial information. Not only of the characteristics of the lithologic unit, but of the contact between the two. Is it sharp? Is it gradational? Is it unconformable? Is it angular? Is it planer? Is it scoured? Is it inter-tounging... It is so important to the big picture.

Oppy's work in the crater isn't done. Far from it.

Thanks for the links.
