Weird Rock on Mars Raw Images:

[DeoxyriboNucleicAcid]

Well, I was scanning through a bunch of raw image files from nasa's site, and I came accross this stuff. They are NOT EDITED IMAGES. What are these, they seem artificcial, could it be an affect of the spirit ship on a rock or soething???
Here are the image URLs.

UPDATE: THIS IS NO JOKE, THESE ARE REAL IMAGES FROM NASA, THEIR SOURCE:
http://origin.mars5.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/spirit.html
ANOTHER UPDATE, lol
OK, The images were found in sets 56 and 60 of the navigation camera, HERE are links(click each thumbnail to view a larger one, then click again to view the full image):

What do you think???????

[Sayonara]

I think you need to choose different rocks, or perhaps different angles.

[Hades]

Might that be how they determine chemical composition of rocks?

[mossoi]

It's the same rock!!!

 

Next time, as Sayo says, choose different rocks. Give us some credit.

[mossoi]

although I did find this picture which is quite interesting.

I was more intrigued by:

THIS ISNT A JOKE!!!!!! The images I supplied you with were real!!!!!

IF YOU CARE TO SEE WHERE I GOT THEM, FEEL FREE TO BROWSE THESE FROM NASA:

There's about a million images listed in NASA's usual unhelpful way. Can you give us a hint on where to find them on the site?

[mossoi]

On closer investigation it does seem as the second anomaly is overlayed over the first (either in reality or by image editing). I'd like to see the source so I can have a look at them.

Those circles are created by the RAT (rock abrasion tool).

[mossoi]

Cool cool, I stand corrected.

 

So all we need to do is clear up the mystery of the Bugs Bunny Martian and we're home and dry!

[Pinch Paxton]

Yeah those look real enough to me. Some kind of spinning tool, grinding away at the rock. It look strange at first because the rock is the same rock, but if you look closely, you can see both patterns on one of the rocks.

 

Pincho.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

How about this?

 

It's true!

I get none of the glory because blike posted first, but I do have the satisfaction of getting it right.

May seem unimportant...but on the lower part of the picture is almost looks like two foot prints.

It was left by something. Most likely the rover. You can see on the right mark, there is a rock that was pushed down into the light soil. Had to be the rover Unless theres a mechanic working under the rover:-\

[Tank]

Yes, I noticed that rock too. And I figured it was the rover.
