False-Color Mosaic Of Cumberland Ridge, With Superimposed Pie Charts Representing Iron-Bearing Miner

Caption

This is a false-color mosaic of Cumberland Ridge, with superimposed pie charts representing iron-bearing mineralogy. You don't need to know anything about iron geochemistry to know that the stuff represented by the pie charts varies greatly across this scene, which is about 1/3 the size of a football field. Also, the 1.2 m scale bar is the distance between the rover's right and left wheel track. Image from S.
