Rock abrasion tool, also known as "rat" (circular device in center),
located on the rover's instrument deployment device, or "arm."

A region at the end of the rock outcrop lining the small crater, called
"Eagle Crater." The sphere-like grains or "blueberries" dotting the
rocks in the outcrop can also be seen above the rocks, suggesting that
these geologic features have origins beyond Eagle Crater.

These layered rocks measure only 10 centimeters (4 inches) tall and are
thought to be either volcanic ash deposits or sediments carried by
water or wind.

This image was taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit on sol 79
after completing a two-location brushing on the rock dubbed "Mazatzal."
A coating of fine, dust-like material was successfully removed from
targets named "Illinois" (right) and "New York" (left), revealing clean
rock underneath. The center of the two brushed spots are approximately
10 centimeters (3.9 inches) apart and were aggressively analyzed by the
instruments on the robotic arm on sol 80. On sol 81, the rover drilled
into the New York target to expose the original rock underneath.

This hazard-avoidance camera image was taken by NASA's Mars Exploration
Rover Spirit on sol 79 after completing a two-location brushing on the
rock dubbed "Mazatzal." A coating of fine, dust-like material was
successfully removed from targets named "Illinois" (right) and "New
York" (left), revealing clean rock underneath. In this image, Spirit's
panoramic camera mast assembly, or camera head, can be seen shadowing
Mazatzal's surface. The center of the two brushed spots are
approximately 10 centimeters (3.9 inches) apart and were aggressively
analyzed by the instruments on the robotic arm on sol 80. On sol 81,
the rover drilled into the New York target to expose the original rock
underneath.
Note: The raw images are under the pan camera with color filters. ???
