Today we boxed up rock core to a depth of 5626 ft, 100 ft deeper than yesterday. At this depth, if the rock drills well, this is about the maximum possible recovery in a single day.
Above is a photo of another sedimentary unit, lately the drilling has recovered one interval of sedimentary rock each day. This unit contains two large clasts in a finer-grained matrix at its top and middle portions, and then fine sediment at its base that shows bedding and cross bedding. Note the presence of a variety of clast types in this unit, as well as green and white secondary materials.
