A relatively barren area covered with pebbles and cobbles. A few boulders areapparent. An anthomastus coral and hexactellinid sponge are on the right and a red shrimp is seen in the upper left of the image. The mistyappearing area was caused by the robotic sampling arm which scooped up someof the pebble and cobble substrate.
