thats an interesting looking rock, i have no idea why i would look like that. could be a piece of space debris, but that seems unlikely.

That picture has photoshop written all over it. I'm going to do a quick little investigative study on it.

It looks part of the "ball" that the rovers used to cushon their fall. And no it isn't photoshopped, unless you're making the accusation that NASA photoshopps their own images now hmm?

Check my edited added links above.. its a rock.. nothing special

Nice catch though

I have to agree, as it does resemble a deflated "ball". It would make an interesting rock though, as it's "parts" seem so symmetrical. If you turn your head sideways, and squint, it could look like some sort of skeletal structure, such as a pelvis. Interesting find.

Hmm? It looks like a friggin rock man. Did you look at the 4 high defination pictures I posted (twice)? It's a rock!

Looks like a rock.
I imagine, after a number of day to night temperature changes, that darker portion
will probably fall off. Then it will be two rocks..

UnMature, are you sure you're not using color as a source for your topography? It doesn't look dished to me. If it isn't dished, there wouldn't be a shadow.
Also, doesn't Photoshop leave a tag of some sort in it's edited images?

It allmost looks like it is assembled from a number of rocks, but maybe that's how it weathered over the years?

UnMature, I ask you again. Are you making the accusation that NASA is Photoshopping their own images? The same photograph is presant on their website as well.

would you "photoshopped Debunkers" quit with the photoshop stuff, it's getting really annoying.

My last two weeks were quicktimed, then photoshopped.....sheesh

Don't forget where we are on Mars.
In the middle of a giant crater, theoretically on top of some hills
that were more than likely formed by the rebound effect of the huge amount of energy unleashed when the crater was created..
A frozen splash, if you will.

there are bound to be all types of exotic mineral combinations, due to the melting, the fracturing, etc...

If you go back to the period of time when Spirit began to climb these hills..
Somewhere around Sol 300, I think...You can find lots of what is depicted
in the photo..

Literally fields full of these rocks...with similar erosion patterns..

I can try and go back and find some of these...could take some time.
TWO YEARS worth of photos to go through..
