goes to a presentation on Mars Sample Return at the recent PAC meeting. It includes a sightly different view of the plan for the next few months, notably saying that the drive south will be a quick survey and the return trip will include the sampling: 4 samples and 4 duplicates plus a witness tube to check contamination.

On sol 116 SuperCam photographed a layered outcrop. The SuperCam inset in the context image had to be deformed and cropped due to the parallax between the two takes. As an addition, an anaglyph of the context.

ADMIN NOTE: At the suggestion of PDP8E, there's a new dedicated Percy dust devil thread. 15 posts from this thread were just moved over there. Please post all future observations, animations, etc. over there. Hopefully this will become a very convenient single-point resource.
Sol 116 panorama showing the plains with the crater rim at the background: a very romantic view of Mars indeed.

Thanks a lot Charborob for your nice 3D processing
I noticed also this round rock that looks like an hamburger
Here it is sitting in a broader 3D context along a small ridge.
Bon Appetit and enjoy

This round rock seems to be different from the others we have seen so far.
1) Sol 116 Mastcam-Z raw image .
2) Left camera, multispectral PCA image of filters 0 to 6 (mostly visible spectrum). The round rock is as blue as the angular stones in the foreground.
3) Right camera, multispectral PCA image of filters 0 to 6 (mainly infrared spectrum). The round rock is slightly more violet than the angular stones. A small stone in the foreground is clearly different (orange color).
4) Right camera, multispectral PCA image of filters 1 to 6 (infrared spectrum only). The round rock has a distinctly different reflectance in the infrared, an indication of a different rock type.

It's a pity that Percy seems to be unable to traverse Seitah to examine layered rock from up close particularly where it seems to be overlain by volcanic deposits.

Thank you very much Tau for sharing this great work of yours.
Those reconstructed multispectral images are very nice to see and very interesting indeed

Interesting series of lithologies there.
I'm hoping to get a close look at that light-toned unit, which is apparently a bedrock to the overlying residual and aeolian units.

Some more multispectral images. A piece of rock with a strikingly different spectral reflectance is encircled.
1) Sol 115 Mastcam-Z raw image .
2) Right camera, multispectral PCA image of filters 0 to 6 (mainly infrared spectrum).
3) Right camera, multispectral PCA image of filters 1 to 6 (infrared spectrum only). A significant portion of the second and third principal components is due to flatfield inhomogeneities and image noise. The yellow spot in the upper right quadrangle is caused by an impurity in filter R6.

Wide-baseline stereo images of Kodiak hill using Mastcam-Z raw images from different sols
1) Red channel: sol 114 12:13:29 and 12:13:41 local mean solar time, blue/green channels: sol 94 12:14:01
Daytime difference less than minute, nearly identical shadows at the cliffs of Kodiak and a stronger stereo effect due to a wider baseline then 2)
2) Red channel: sol 114 12:13:29 and 12:13:41, blue/green channels: sol 111 10:49:27
Daytime difference about 84 minutes, therefore somewhat disturbing different shadows at the cliffs, but with the Jezero crater wall in stereo as background

What a nice work Tau. Congratulations
Here is the Sol 115 mosaic, showing the "Hamburger Rock" at right.
Also in 3D to help understand the local topography and put your nice work in context. Enjoy

Thank you, vikingmars. And thanks for your interest in my work.And here is sol 120 with a new SuperCam take and its context. I considered waiting for photos that continue to the right, where there is a very small layered cliff.
But usually the centers of the SuperCam photos in a series are on a straight line, and then the cliff would not be included. Hopefully it will be included in an extra series.

Could this be a reconnaissance for a possible short excursion of Perseverance to Séítah?

Possibly! - we have just 2 images (as I write this) from sol 122, but it looks to me as if Perseverance has moved north to a place near the sol 113 position (a short distance SW of it). That may be an access point for a look at the bright rocks.

Because these vesicular rocks from sol 119 are so three-dimensional, I couldn't resist making a color anaglyph, and a color-enhanced image if there are no red-blue/green glasses for viewing.

I really like these context images, tau - very useful.
This is the sol 122 end of drive circular view - one frame barely touched the horizon. We might get the missing bit later. The tracks show the path very clearly.

Just a heads up that sol 123 saw a 73m drive to the south, passing the sol 116 location.
A look back, and here is a rather experimental anaglyph of a Kodiak cliff, composed of two SuperCam image series.
Left eye (red): Sol 77, 08:24:49 and 08:37:27 local mean solar time.
Right eye (blue/green): Sol 63, 08:11:26, 08:12:49, and 08:14:12
Somewhat distracting are the different shadows due to the different sun angles.
Different distances to Kodiak, an additional vertical parallax, and axial distortion of the raw images required manual adjustment of various parts of this anaglyph.
Nevertheless, a stereoscopic effect is visible, although two stereoscopic inconsistencies remained in the scree slope.
