Arken -- Mark this day down, because this is a first...

...I agree with you!!!

Mark it.

But... step by step, I will conduct you through the "portal"

Now you should go back and review some of your own threads

Take a Look at the first pic and the pic below.
The first pic has the metal behind the rock.
The pic below has the metal out of focus and in the foreground.
So how can it be as you say below?

And you did not explain why the rock had a lower level of dust with the metal behind the rock?

Here is the original image, taken by the right MastCam on 2013-02-10 23:57:53 UTC





EDIT TO ADD:

'Wildspace' beat me to it by four minutes.

Let me "rebuild" a similar mosaic than in the OP's using the area in the yellow box in this image



Here is that boxed area, with the other pieces of the mosaic around it. This is not the OP's image, but rather a re-creation of that image that I made. The area in the yellow box in the image above is highlighted in this re-creation below:



And here is that re-creation without the yellow box:




...and compared to the OP's image:

No. What idiotic mental process, let you to think so?

Perhaps these images will help you believe it's the robotic arm:

Part of the original mosaic, with the rover's robotic arm visible


The OP's mosaic, where images from other Sols were used to remove the arm
