I see they found one of the interesting fossil looking things in a rock. They’re calling it the flower.

The wide panoramic picture of the snake like rocks looks like somewhere out in our desert Southwest. I sent the picture along to some of my camping buddies to see if they can remember the area where the picture was taken. Hahahahaha

Its hammer action will enable the device to retrieve powdered samples from up to 5cm inside the rock, which can then passed to the rover's onboard laboratories for analysis.

So it's a laboratory retriever called rover.
