Hey good find may I ask, what rover and Sol # please?
The top left pic - the object has weird round circles on bottom- the left top picture has geometric formations- they are indeed strange. Use your PC magnifier brings out some weird stuff.
Keep 'em coming folks!! Find 'em and post 'em!

all three "structures" are part of the rover? if someone has a link to that thread, please post it; although i will do my best to find it on my own.

If all images show the same thing then it must be part of the rover.
That would be the first thing I would look for.
Compare it with this image from Sol 1459.
And yes, I am pretty sure that is part of the rover.

alright, so you are saying you are SURE it is part of the rover. can you show me which part of the rover you think it is?
i understand that we are supposedly looking at something (the middle "structure" or whatever you want to refer to it as) that is, according to one of the posters, about the size of a deck of cards, HOWEVER, i have looked at several pics of the rover from different angles and "blown up" and just cannot see any features that look like anything on the horizon of the pics posted by the OP.
All i am asking for is that one of those who are saying they are convinced it is the rover to show WHY they think this. i am not arguing that it is not, just don't see why one would think it is.

Hi, justamomma
you will never see them because they are below the rear solar panels:
here,
you can see where they are approximately located (blue disc) and where is located the rear-haz cam (red sphere).
The object visible in the op upper left and upper right photos is the one (or an identical one) inside the white square: in the photo is visible because is a photo of a Rover not yet deployed, so the components located in the lower side of the panel are visible.
