I would think its part of the heat shield maybe, that blew off b4 the parachute deployed, or the do-hickey that holds the parachute.. then blows off the chutes, so the thingy can inflate the big beach-ball thing-a-ma-bob , so the rover ( that's inside the bouncing inflatable rig, can be clear of getting all tangled up in the stuff.
Or, you found a "true" unknown" piece of hardware!!

Im sorry to be the one to do this but.....



I outlined what I think is the edge of a dune-type raised part of the ground.

The object in question is just a shadow from this thing protruding from the ground.

Sorry

Welcome to ATS!

Very cool find by you as well!

I wonder what else is in this image?

It looks like the Egyptian god Horace.....pretty neat, but probably a rock

anyone see that thing in the distance...that silver looking thing?

Ok

I guess no one cares....

I got all exited about that too, turns out it is the Heatshield from the rover.

Sorry the thing does not look like a shadow sorry to tell you.

Saying that the side of this rock is another figure of some sort is about the equivalent of cloud watching. You can see lots of shapes in clouds if you look at them, some more evident than others. The truth is that it's just a cloud. Just as in the OP's image it's a plain rock.

I care...

Actually, by Jove! I think you've got it!

Give the damn alien a star!

Aw, heck, have one for both times you posted the pic!

It looks like a shadow on a rock.

The rock seems to elongate upwards.

By the way do you know what the other shiny thing is? it's more to the left of the picture. Looks further away a bit.

Now that you had brought this image up. Now look like tar is shooting out of the ground, That might explaned why sand is being kick up. And why there is no skid mark.
