This view of a Martian rock known as "Rocknest 3" combines four images taken by the right-eye camera of the Mastcam's telephoto, 100-millimeter-focal-length lens on October 5.

Rocknest 3, seen here, is approximately 15 inches long and 4 inches tall, next to the "Rocknest" site where Curiosity is scooping and sampling the Martian soil.
