Namib Dune sampling area, Curiosity sol 1241 Curiosity used its MAHLI camera to take several photos of the Namib dune sampling area after completing work there to document the mess. Dump pile A is the fine fraction of sand from scoop 1; pile B is the coarse fraction of sand from scoop 1; the piles labeled C and D are the intermediate and coarse fractions of sand from scoop 2, although there may have been no sand in the coarse fraction. The "scoop excess" pile was made and added to on all three sampling sols; Curiosity scooped sand and then dumped the excess beyond the 12 cubic centimeters that are safe for CHIMRA operations, with all three excess dumps happening on the same spot.
