The rover acquired this image while driving across the \u201cIdubi\u201d channel\u2019s southern border. Perseverance acquired this image on Oct. 14, 2026, Sol 2009 (Martian day 2,009) of the Mars 2020 mission.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/ASU<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by Margaret Deahn, Ph.D. candidate at Purdue University<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oct. 19, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once upon a time, NASA\u2019s Mars 2020 rover investigated the southern border of \u201cIdubi,\u201d an outcrop composed primarily of an igneous mineral geologists call olivine. The rover\u2019s \u201ceyes\u201d captured a very exciting geologic feature during its traverse \u2014 a contact between distinct rock types that could tell a story about the history of this region. This contact is clearly observed at a target named \u201cTinga.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At \u201cTinga,\u201d there are distinct geologic units in close contact with one another. The lowermost unit is likely a polymict (made of many types of rocks) breccia (made of angular clasts). Breccia is generally formed by violent geologic processes such as an impact event \u2014 this breccia may have been formed by an impact similar to the one that created Jezero crater \u2014 or even Jezero itself! See a <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/blog\/a-journey-to-the-depths-of-ancient-mars\/\" rel=\"noopener\">recent rover blog post<\/a> for more information on the potential breccia in this region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, breccia is only the first chapter in the story of our target \u201cTinga.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The higher-standing, dark rocks could be associated with the nearby olivine-bearing unit at \u201cIdubi,\u201d which also appears to extend onto the plains beyond the Jezero crater rim. These dark rocks at \u201cTinga\u201d may be part of this olivine-bearing unit, or they may represent a part of the breccia that was heated, or \u201cbaked,\u201d when it came in contact with the hot rocks of \u201cIdubi.\u201d Further in situ investigation of this particular outcrop is needed to determine how the high-standing rocks we observe at this contact are related to this broader unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTinga\u201d tells a tale about distinct geologic events that occurred just outside Jezero\u2019s crater rim, and the Mars 2020 rover will continue to reveal Jezero\u2019s origin story and exciting geologic history.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-module alignwide wp-block-nasa-blocks-listicle\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle bg-spacesuit-white maxw-full width-full padding-0 color-mode-light nasa-gb-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-wrapper padding-y-4 padding-x-3\">\n<h2 class=\"hds-listicle-heading\"><\/h2>\n<div class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-7 listicle-layout-basic\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2 padding-bottom-2\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-12\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-text-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-list-text\">\n<h3 class=\"heading-22\">Want to read more posts from the Perseverance team?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"hds-listicle-list-description\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/mars-2020-perseverance\/science-updates\/\"  class=\"button-primary button-primary-sm hds-listicle-button link-external-false\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1 \" ><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tVisit Mission Updates<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"grid-row grid-gap-2 padding-bottom-2\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-12\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-text-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-list-text\">\n<h3 class=\"heading-22\">Want to learn more about Perseverance\u2019s science instruments?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"hds-listicle-list-description\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/mars-2020-perseverance\/science-instruments\/\"  class=\"button-primary button-primary-sm hds-listicle-button link-external-false\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1 \" ><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tVisit the Science Instruments page<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"desktop:grid-col-5 round-image-section\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle-rounded-image\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover listicle-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/psd\/mars\/resources\/detail_files\/2\/7\/27795_PIA26202-web.jpg?w=768&#038;h=576&#038;%23038;fit=clip\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1);
