' surface. According to NASA, this one-of-a-kind evidence could lead to the discovery of ancient microbial life that may have been preserved in these rocks.The curving bands of layered rock platforms within Jezero Crater have been dubbed "the curvilinear unit." This sedimentary rock pile stands approximately 820 feet tall. The mosaics primarily highlight one section of the giant pile known as "Skrinkle Haven," which could be the remnants of an ancient river’s banks.
