Any suggestion to what image might fit a laptop screen perfect?
Bobby, try Ant 103's gorgeous color pan on the page above your question. C'est magnifique!.
And Stu, I love your close-ups of Crocodile Tail. It appears that little block on the ground to the left of the main rock was dislodged from the brighter spot on the upper left of Crocoldile Tail. It evidently didn't come off when the rock first fell there. The weathering is much lighter where it came off. So it must have broken off much later. But as Oersted pointed out, erosion and weathering are very slow on Mars. What would have caused that piece of the rock to break off? Could a minor meteoroid have done the trick? Or is it the Occam's Razor hypothesis: it was weakened and perhaps fractured when it first landed, and the eons of erosion finally caused it to separate from the parent rock?
