Can someone explain what this is in this MARS pic?

I'm not suggesting that this is anomalious, but what is that "compact disk" looking thingy?

If it's just the dirt removed revealing rock below then what made such a perfect impression?

Strange...any takers?

I created these images to help the conversation along.

nice find....seriously i have NO idea....ok nvm its a disk....looks pretty shiny and preserved too...normally you find disks in the park and they dont look shiny at all....maybe an alien race took over mars and enslaved all the peaceful martians....and that is probably the only thing left from the martian civilization

definetly a disc from those pictures above.....if you take a picture of a disc and inverted the colors it would look black like that one above

That is a picture from where the the arm has pressed into the ground for the spectral and thermal analysis.

What is that on the shiney round thing? And above to the right of it....

That is pretty weird and a great find!

hmmm...that's an odd one!

Ah, yes. I think that's it. It's strange that it isn't a complete circle. I guess dirt moved and covered part of it.

There are a lot of pictures that show this. If you look at some of the microscopic pics you can see this also.

The only way you would get a complete circle would be if the ground was perfectly flat. There is a limiter on how much pressure is to be applied.

I thought about it being the arm, but didn't see tracks near by. But that arm reaches pretty far. I went back and checked the microscopic pics for that SOL and yep, there it was..close up and laughing at me...damn these drugs!

NO,
I'm pretty sure I can make out a label.
It's a Sammy Hagar CD..
Anyone know which one? hint hint.......

Seriously, All the Pics are amazing if you think about the technology.

There is also a user on the Boards who spent a lot of time taking the
raw data from the Panoramic cameras, and building the color images.
He posted his results on a webpage. Not sure if I should link directly, as
I'm not sure of his allotted bandwidth. But if you're REALLY interested, check out the "what color is mars really" thread. It's almost at the end of the thread..

For some reason the rotated pic looks more intresting.

it is the same one just rotated i upload it but couldent get it show up before

Wow...thats really, REALLY flat, looks like it was buffed a bit too. The old spit shine perhaps?

Am I the only one who thinks it look like a broken toilet seat?

And what's up with all those ball-looking rocks? Aren't they way too round to be natural? I think they look weird, but again, I haven't looked at a lot of pics taken on Mars. Maybe they're ordinary to you.
