That's has plenty of rubber left on it. Looks like you picked up a lot of marbles though but that should come right off when you go back out. Not sure about the big gouge at the top of the picture though. Can't see enough of that to say for sure.

This can be caused by being overly aggressive with a too soft of a compound for the conditions before the tires warm up.
