I always feel slightly disappointed by how ordinary outer space looks once we get close enough to have a good look at it. I prefer the fuzzy mystery. All that effort, energy and expertise to find out that the planets we once fantasised about colonising look like a bankrupt open cast coal mine in lanarkshire.

Pretty loose looking mind. Take a fair amount of cleaning.

Yeah, but at least it looks like all the alien planets of Doctor Who in the 60s/70s/80s.

Looks like William Shatner's about to jump out and hammer punch Curiosity

Though it's pretty interesting when you look closer, naturally it looks quite like stuff here- tectonics and geology aren't so different. But it all stacks and piles slightly differently, it's a wee bit uncanny valley because of the gravity and atmosphere differences- nearly the same but just different enough to be weird.

My geologist wife guessed a laminated shale sandstone, possibly Dorset or Dogger
