Intriguing pieces of "rock" on Mars

Below is the same image with circles around a few of the more interesting pieces. The green circles represent what appear to be animal skulls, especially the lower of the two. The white circles show pieces that are both round, and curved, appear hollow or in the case of the sqaurish one show several holes and look porous. The yellow circle are a few less obvious. You can look over the original and you will spot many more pieces that look like bone fragments.

Proof positive? Not yet... but if I was up there this would be one of my first stops to hunt for specimens.

To see more MARS photos that are coming in daily from both Martian Rovers still opperating on Mars see here;

Spirit: All 86,638 Raw Images - 46 new images since 09/17/2006 08:05:55 PST

Opportunity: All 77,115 Raw Images - 67 new images since 09/16/2006 12:16:47 PST

The yellow colorizations are Papa's, the red ones are mine that I added as being key pieces - Zorgon

	This is one of the best samples in the above image because you can see the porous nature of the "bone" frament
	This one is round as well as curved along its length. There are branches and the end gives indications of it being hollow
	Similar piece, also round, a feet inches away from the one above. There is a third piece a little more to the right, partially buried
	"Diapsida Skull" Now this one has o be by far one of the best pieces of evidence of past life on Mars... nostril holes, eye sockets and beak...
	More interesting fragments...
	"Diapsida Breastbone" Best description I can think of...
	Very unusual shape....with a very thin connector

Three pieces of interst in this section.. the triangular fragment attached to the bigger piece, the odd shape at bottom left, and the partially buried round "tube like" piece

First view of an actual weather phenomena on a different planet. A pleasant surprize for NASA scientists as Dust Devils clean the dust off of the Rovers allowing continued operation years after their expected lifespan...
