Barnacle Bill was the first rock to be explored by the Rover. It was found north by northwest of the Mars Pathfinder lander.
Barnacle Bill was a dark rock, which means it is probably of basaltic or andesitic basalt origin. It had many pits and holes (ventifacts) and was more weathered. This feature helps scientists figure out the possible origin of Barnacle Bill. Rocky outcroppings 50 km away also seem to be made of basalt or andesitic basalt.
