Light-toned sulfate/clay layer at Gale crater
Latitude/longitude:X North, Y East
Rationale:Location of transition between phyllosilicate-rich units and sulfate-rich units
Morphology and Mineralogy: Location is in filled channel carved into layered rocks of mound. Both phyllosilicate and sulfate-bearing units.
What will the rover specifically do here?Study differences in lithology between the phyllosilicate and sulfate units, characterize channel fill, and work upsection in lower mound stratigraphy.
