Now the good one, though no one knows yet where that ?27th rock sample went As for the hole and tailings they're there! #perseverance sol 1421 #samplingmars .

Now that I've completed my climb out of Jezero Crater, I'm back to #SamplingMars! My 26th sample, known as "Silver Mountain," has textures unlike anything we've seen before. I've sealed the rock core in a sample tube so it can be analyzed in labs on Earth in the future.

Sols 1335 and 1336 pixl, Aci and Watson at work Now wanting for analysis #samplingmars @NASAPersevere

Back at driving up the rim of Jezero After abrading Pico Turquino 98.1 meters or 300 feet drive in one go What's that white pointy rock sticking out? Sol 1318 #samplingmars #Perseverance @nasap

Sol 1315 A new Abrasion patch at Pico Turquino Second unturned layer Looking for leopard 🐆 spots !! #samplingmars @NASAPersevere

Then there was a rock.. A special one ! Sol 1313 #samplingmars @NASAPersevere

First image has the layers highlighted, other two are sol 1311 zcam of the same rock #samplingmars #perseverancerover @nasap

Surfing between upturned sedimentary layers sol 1311 After a 62 m drive NE #Perseverance is now examining the middle layer of three sed layers, possibly upturned by the Jezero impact as they are on the rim. They will tell of the conditions Before The Lake. #samplingmars

21 m further up a through on Mars And quite the slippage visible on the rear haz cam as perseverance is going uphill. Shame no life bearing rock since Chevaya Falls #samplingmars

A new rock to see! Upper layer of conglomerate on the top of the blocky rock Sol 1281 #samplingmars

Interesting Granules found by perseverance sol 1277 Sherloc view and ma can context #samplingmars

Perseverance drove 155 meters on sol 1274 and climbed some 25 m up! Ever the roadrunner Now at a nice location with interesting rocks to abrade #samplingmars

New Abrasion patch on Mars Today ! On the way to Witch Hazel Hill #samplingMars Location on lastvimage Sol 1257

At a Workbench Rock ! Serpentine Rapids sol 1245, 36 meters drive / 108 feet Let's see if this rock has signs of #pastLife #samplingmars Hoping for a core this time @NASAPersevere !

Abrasion patch at Serpentine Rapids !!! Lots of water interaction in a conglomerate rock. Just lovely! Sol 1240 #samplingmars #pixl Some flakes broke off when abrading so unlikely it can be cored too.. or maybe with the regolith head

Looking at a promising rock! Sol 1229 #samplingmars #Perseverance

Sol one two two seven At Serpentine Rapids !!! And Man what a sight !! Look for Life 🧬 #readytocore #samplingmars #perseverancerover

Looking back at Bright Angel across the Neretva Channel Where she possibly found Life on Mars! #samplingmars #LifeonMars @marsstu

Very nice view to the west from Bright Angel location, looking at the Neretva breach into Jezero crater, you can tell the river going to the right in the far distance. Going to serpentine rapids next! Find more evidence of past life on the right bank this time! #samplingmars

The road ahead is exciting–could be an excellent opportunity to sample a boulder. Meanwhile, I’m getting lots of good experience driving away from “cul-de-sacs” of rocks and navigating around slopes and boulders. #SamplingMars continues…

Look at this big chunky weirdo. 🪨 I love it. I spotted this boulder from a distance and have come in for a closer look. It’s harder than most, with an odd shape and makeup. #SamplingMars could be a challenge here, but I’m up for it!

I found this rock in the ancient riverbed here at Jezero Crater. Could microscopic life have ever survived here? #SamplingMars and sending my rock collection to Earth via #MarsSampleReturn could help scientists answer that question.

I just collected my 22nd sample! My team wants samples from this key spot, which is rich in minerals laid down by past water billions of years ago. #SamplingMars continues…

You’re looking at the shiny new seal on my 21st sample tube. Just closed it up today, literally capping off my exploration of this section of Jezero Crater. More #SamplingMars to come at the next location!

Now that conjunction is over, I’m excited to continue #SamplingMars! You’ll start to see more blogs from my team and the latest images from me: mars.nasa.gov/mars2020

My drill bit is filled to the brim with my latest sample! My abrasion patch revealed interesting textures in this bedrock. The minerals inside are a snapshot of the ancient environment I’m currently exploring. #SamplingMars

#SamplingMars continues! @NASAPersevere cored and stored a carbonate-rich rock, which is a kind known to preserve fossilized lifeforms on Earth. If signs of ancient microbial life exist on Mars, it could be a rock like this that reveals those secrets: go.nasa.gov/40WSxoV

There’s nothing more satisfying than #SamplingMars, especially after my last two attempts on an uncooperative rock! This one looks great AND offers something I don’t yet have in my collection: a rock core with larger pebbles inside. Why that’s good: go.nasa.gov/3pnj1lS

Humans and robots daring mighty things, together. Yesterday, we welcomed @NASA's leadership team, including Administrator Bill Nelson and Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy to JPL. They got an up-close look at how we're laying the groundwork for #SamplingMars and @EuropaClipper.

We now have 23 samples of Martian rock, dust, and atmosphere. 👏 Over 60% complete, @NASAPersevere's #SamplingMars campaign will help reveal the history of Jezero Crater and whether its ancient river delta could've hosted life. Explore each collection: go.nasa.gov/3vEtLz6

Pixl is mapping the organics on the Abacus Rock 🧮 Notice the hairline cracks filled with calcium phosphate, they seem to stop where the round sandstone pearls are. Second picture shows a wider context view of the Abacus 🧮 Sol 1222, Bright Angel #persevere #samplingmars
