Yeah, it's fun to look at rocks and imagine what they kind of look like. It's interesting how so many have edges on them that look pretty straight, but that's what wind and water and cracking can do sometimes.
But if you think they're in any way manufactured by an alien intelligence, I'm afraid you're just being overly-imaginative and more than a little nutty.

Well, to be honest, mostly looks like rocks to me. I have found triangular rocks in river beds in the mid-west and other oddly "carved" rocks in streams and so forth. So, 99.9999999999999% they are just rocks.
The gold vein idea is interesting though.
GOLD RUSH ON MARS!
Wonder what their football team would be named???

I think op has done a good job in bringing some intersting photos for us a to have a look at.
Why are people so highly strung....

Great post. Definitely some interesting objects, but that "panel" is damn hard to explain. It almost looks like you could dust it off and see some old gas station ad or something. I can't believe any natural force would create something like this. More surprising that it hasn't been pointed out before, and some lame explanation made. Really fascinating! I'm one of the people that think we should have landed men on Mars 10 years ago.

Wow. Imagine a planet with 50 billion trillion rocks on it having any that look like something we could compare it to. I mean the odds must be what..... logical?
Thats what I was looking at it looks like a dry river bed.I'll go as far to say it only looks to be recently dry.You can still see moisture in the sand,I see this picture and can almost feel the wet sand,has nasa admitted to recent water on Mars?

IMO, It looks exactly like something one would see in a dried riverbed in a desert. Where you have your pitted and carved rocks from erosion and weathering. Temperature extremes on Mars, I would believe, would help contribute to the fracturing of some rocks, and shifting some of the dried mud-cracks below. Also, that vein on the rock looks more like a small quartz vein, quartz is a fairly common silicate.... Though that's my opinion.
Rocks may look shiny and Iron-esque due to polishing from weathering and erosion, as there are winds on mars, I can see this.
Just something I would say from observation.
Yet again, earlier this week we received another mysterious mars picture via email, which was photographed by NASA Mars Spirit rover. The below image can be found in Spirit Panoramic photo SOL 527.

Prove it.
