Just a few sols after successfully sealing the challenging Green Gardens core, Perseverance roved on to the Broom Point workspace to collect another sample called Main River.

Now, let's try and make sense out of this image captured by #Perseverance earlier tosol. The distance is about 2.5m away from the camera, just to the right of the right front wheel of the rover. What exactly is that we see here?
Spherules with holes?

Two 360° panoramas captured by the Mars rover Perseverance, and recently released by the Mastcam-Z team at Arizona State University. They come in 2 flavors: "enhanced colors" and "natural colors".
1) Trout River/Shallow Bay, Sol 1399
2) South Arm, Sol 1412

Check out this post by Melissa Rice on how the Perseverance rover science team was torn with competing priorities: sealing up the "Green Gardens" sample as quickly as possible vs continuing to the next important science stop, "Broom Point".
