Textures of Gale Crater as Viewed by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI)
Abstract
Textures imaged by MAHLI show a range of grain characteristics and relationships, all of which provide clues to rock lithology. Sedimentary sandstones of various grain sizes and sortings are common. Mudstones indicate the potential for habitability.
