Poster on #FreyaCastle / "zebra rock". Not sure if we can see which one is #KautzCreek without the #PDSAnalystNotebook perhaps.

Boudinage 🇫🇷
"Freya Castle looks like a metamorphic rock containing feldspar or other white-ish minerals arranged in something called boudinage. That word stems from French: a chain-link sausage-like structure."

Freya Castle
Yep, that's the name of the Martian mystery rock with black-and-white stripes, seen here in Stereo3D. It is 20 cm across and the team scientists have enjoyed reading your theories on its origin!
