Here's my false-color composite of the first target on Meridani plains - Named "homeplate" by JPL. In the large panorama it appears to be bedrock exposed by the wind:

But in the newest Pancam closeups (subframe), it looks strange... At first I thought it was a smudge on the Pancam lens - but it macthes the position in the Nacam footage.
If I didn't know better I'd say it almost looks like muddy water.
(But I'm sure that's just the low detail and compression)
