Great comparison using the before and after shots. Fully agreed regarding the diverse mineralogy found in this mission. When I first saw these close-ups of the rock fractured by the drill, I thought maybe we were seeing thick mineral fill fractures, we’ve seen thin fracture fills on this mission, but if these are very large veins, that would be a first for Jezero (AFAIK). Whatever they are I agree that this stuff needs the ‘full treatment’ with all available instruments :)
