Sols 4270-4272: Sample for SAM

.The concentration for this three-sol weekend break planning is providing a section of the Kings Gulch bore sample to SAM for Evolved Gasoline Study (EGA), observing on coming from a successful CheMin evaluation. The CheMin as well as SAM studies, combined with APXS and ChemCam analyses, will definitely inform our company regarding the make-up and mineralogy of this block within the Gediz Vallis network deposit. We can easily contrast it to the make-up as well as mineralogy of the fascinating Mammoth Lakes punched sample at Whitebark Pass, which neighbored the essential sulfur blocks, and also within the Gediz Vallis down payment, as well as to the bedrock outside the stations and various other previous bored samples. This will definitely help educate the source( s) of the blocks, which can be derived from higher on Mount Sharp..
