MS, what do you make of this?

Intriguing. From my perspective, (as an ardent dirt bike rider) I can say that for sure, a wheel with a maximum speed of 0.05mph would no way "flip" a rock like this even with 1/3 gravity!
So, let's take a closer look. It does appear to have a definative design close up. At six o'clock, w can see a curved, very smooth upward pointing "arc like" component which appears to be "attached or adhered" to the circular base. At 7 o'clock, we see a similar shape that is laying off the side.

Also, there is color. A purple, green and orange hue
Relative size is unknown but as it looks to have a center opening or hole, at a guess, I would say that it is a piece of jewelry albeit alien.
Why, well because it appeared there instantaneously so, it was deliberately put there and was done so in order for it to be discovered.
A nice gesture and should be accepted as such.
On a separate matter, please invest in a pair of anaglyph red/blue 3D glasses.
Thanks,
Malcolm Scott
I did a little more work on this object and reduced the color saturation I also turned down the gamma curve somewhat. Interestingly, the colored area in green and purple seems to take the shape of a figure seated. Need a better image file to get better detail though.

How big is the rock?

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">That makes sense. Here's an article that calls it "fist size, or about the size of a jelly donut."
They also discuss how it might have been flipped there by the rover wheel during a turning manuever by a mechanism analogous to "tiddlywinking."

Yes I read that, tiddlywinking huh....from my perspective anyway, the thing looks to have absolute design on close inspection....walks like a duck to me.
Working on some new material right now but will need those glasses, see if you can convince Larry to acquire a pair also.
