ChemCam laser marks

Using the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) laser to analyze one of the four potential targets considered for drilling, here we the see nine small holes where Curiosity zapped the Martian surface during analysis.

Brush marks can be seen where the rover's Dust Removal Tool (DRT) brushed away dust prior to using the laser on the target rock, which is known as "Wernecke." Ultimately, this target was not chosen for drilling.

This image was captured by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on January 30, 2013.
