It looks like #Perseverance went for the bacon¹ 🙂

On Sol 1168 the rover moved to RMC 52.5032 across the ancient riverbed and stopped a few meters away from a light colored layer of rock at the foot of the northern bank, which appears to be the same layer with that of Bright Angel.

¹"the bacon strip": unofficial name for a light colored layer of rock back at the Three Forks area.

Zooming in on a peculiar white rock in Neretva Vallis

This is a combination of three SuperCam RMI images and one Mastcam-Z image taken by the #Perseverance mars rover.
The images were taken two days ago on Sol 1164.

Nuts, bolts, rivets, springs, metal sheets, brackets, cables, connectors, wave-guides, antennas, all designed by naturally intelligent (NI™) beings and assembled by their dexterous hands to form a multi-functional creature that was sent to operate on an inhospitable planet 15 light-minutes away, and which is presently capturing images of what appears to be an epic "selfie" at a hill in the middle of a long since dry ancient riverbed.

An assortment of rocks with some very interesting colors at the new location of #Perseverance (the "hill" at present, but we need an official name for this mound).

#Perseverance's location in the middle of the Neretva Vallis riverbed offers a unique perspective of the ancient river and its riverbanks. A 360° panorama captured from this location would be epic.

This view also offers a nice background for drawing possible future drive paths; here is one going west to Bright Angel, the rover's next target.

Wow check this out: the Martian rover Perseverance made a huge leap forward to reach its Sol 1162 location, right in the middle of Neretva Vallis, in the close vicinity of an island-like mound.

Up there is where #Perseverance took some of the best shots of #Ingenuity at its final landing location. It was there two months ago, around Sol 1100. Tosol is Sol 1163 of the mission.
