I'm sorry everyone but I have a different theory about things like that that are found on mars that everyone might not like, but back in the 70s there were many probes and satellites that were sent to mars for mapping and such that ended up mysteriously crashing into the planet because they didn't have real control over how these satellites orbited the planet so before everyone jumps the gun and says ancient civilization or ufos remember we have sent MANY satellites that crashed before they learned to drop a rover on the planet

As for not emailing NASA, that is of course your choice, but it seems some people on here (not you personally perhaps) are quick to say they don't give answers when it seems the first step sometimes is to at least ask the question.

Don't listen to these "rock" clowns. Other Side isn't going to explain why he insists this is a rock. He's not much for explanations. Mostly just declarations. His reasoning is: Mars is not now nor has it ever been inhabited, thus ALL objects there are, by definition, "rocks" lol. Check his post history in any forum and you'll see what he's up to here.
ETA forgot to mention, on topic, this is by far the most suspicious Mars anomaly I've seen. Looks like machinery to me.edit on 26-9-2013 by Urantia1111 because: (no reason given)
how about this for asymmetrical? thepopulist.net...

It's not really that symmetrical. The left and right side of each of the layers are bigger and smaller on each side, certainly something that could have occurred naturally.The whole thing is rough and textured like a rock. The shapes look just like eroded rock material.
There is the circular looking black dot that appears to be the opening of a tube, but it could very easily be a trick of the light and shadows. We would need to see more angles to be sure it's not an optical illusion, but nothing about his screams manufactured to me.
It looks very much like it could be a natural occurring piece of earth that has been weathered by time into an interesting shape. If you look at the surrounding rocks you can see similar erosion on them as well.
Also, why do you think it's a pump? A pump requires some sort of mechanism like a lever which there is none of. I will give you that there is an appearance of a tube, but that's not definite and not indicative of a pump, maybe a pipe, but not a pump.
