In this portion of the 360-degree color gallery pan, looking to the northeast, the colors have been exaggerated to
highlight the differences between rocks and soils. Visible are the downwind sides of rocks, not exposed to wind
scouring like Barnacle Bill (which faces upwind). There is a close correspondence between the shapes and colors of the
rocks. Three general classes of rocks are recognized: large rounded rocks with weathered coatings, small gray angular
rocks lacking weathered coatings, and flat white rocks. The large rounded rocks in the distance, marked by the red
arrows, are comparable to Yogi. Spectral properties show that these rocks have a highly weathered coating in addition
to a distinctive shape. A second population of smaller, angular rocks (blue arrows) in the foreground have unweathered
surfaces even on the downwind side, except where covered on their tops by drift. These are comparable to Barnacle
Bill. They may have been emplaced at the site relatively recently, perhaps as ejecta from an impact crater, so they have
not had time to weather as extensively as the larger older rocks. The third kind of rock (white arrows) is white and flat,
and includes Scooby Doo in the foreground and a large deposit in the background called Baker's Bank. The age of the
white rock relative to the other two classes is still being debated.
