OK, hold onto your Shorts, if you're wearing any (@Gordi) does this actually look like any of the surrounding rocks?
Now look at the direction the grains of sand or dirt have been blown, looks like This Rock has been blown and resting on something.
REALLY!!!!!

Quote:'Foreign object' on Mars spotted by Curiosity Rover is just a rock
Quote:Don't worry: NASA's Mars rover Curiosity isn't falling apart.I would have thought that. Looks like a thin piece of sheet metal with two holes on each edge.
On Monday (Aug. 13), Curiosity photographed an odd, flat object that mission team members initially thought might have fallen off the car-size robot. Indeed, they dubbed the weirdly shaped target the "Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris," or PPFOD in NASA-speak. (Pettegrove Point is a section of Vera Rubin Ridge, the landform Curiosity has been exploring for the last 11 months or so.)
Quote:"In fact, it was found to be a very thin flake of rock, so we can all rest easy tonight — Curiosity has not begun to shed its skin!" mission team member Brittney Cooper, an atmospheric scientist based at York University in Toronto, wrote in an update Thursday (Aug. 16).
