At 01:18:28 UTC the Mastcam Right captured in detail what appears to be the result of a landslide or perhaps a mudslide.
From the appearance would also seem relatively recent, given the obvious difference in color tone compared to the surrounding terrain, perhaps more appreciable in the panoramic photo of the previous post (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/posts/2841888069227701).
Who knows if Curiosity can give us more information on this interesting detail.
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone a reduction of noise due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation in order to make the colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
