Observations of the Marker Bed at Gale Crater with Recommendations for Future Exploration by the Curiosity Rover

We believe the most plausible explanations for the marker bed include: (1) a more indurated sulfate unit relative to the less indurated sulfates above/below it, (2) a sandstone, or (3) a volcanic ash deposit laid down while the sulfates formed.
