Sorry, Curiosity is a very long distance from the Opportunity site. Perhaps Curiosity is seeing a discarded part of its own landing apparatus.
Please check out this map for reference:

As with all of these “mysterious object found on Mars” photos ... the object is surely much smaller than the initial picture makes it seem to be.
A toy dropped by all the kids NASA is sending to Mars for slave labor.
Just ask Alex Jones.
Yes, and as a matter of fact, the mystery object is very near to that site, and is visible in at least two other images. It must be part of the same wreckage, but it doesn’t seem to be named or acknowledged in the NASA commentary. ( It does seem to a bear a resemblance to the “glider car” in the “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for” scene. )
I’m still investigating!
I think it’s “bigger than a bread box”.

So, about a year after landing.
Opportunity is still cookin' at sol 4779.
The reference to Curiosity is a canard. This is all Opportunity.
I’ll confess that I was sure that this was a blatant hoax, just because it LOOKED like a blatant hoax, you know, but I thought, “where did they get the background” ? So, I found a lot of similar landscape in the early Opportunity sols, and then a reference to the heat shield circa sol 334, or so, and then BINGO! sol 348 ... the image is genuine.
Coulda knocked me over with a feather.
