Looks kind of like the "rabbit" Opportunity saw. That turned out to be torn fabric from the lander, or at least that seemed to be the consensus here on FR. I don't know if NASA ever addressed the issue. The rabbit had a shadow. I don't see one here. I think you're correct about it being a splotch of dropped data.

Check this out, though, Phil . . . Click on your link and look at that big white rock under magnification on the right hand side (about 1/4 of the way down from the top of the picture) . . . Immediately to the right of that rock, it looks like Richard Simmons is peeking out of a hidey hole at the Spirit rover! I can just see the top of his head and his eyes. LOL . . . I'm seeing things again.

Looks extremely similar to the rabbit at the Oportunity site.

Too similar to be insulation, unless a windstorm blew it around the planet like 100 miles or so... This is very, very interesting.

I think you're correct about it being a splotch of dropped data.

Bad data? . . . same spot in two different pics?? . . . and, I think I see a shadow . . .

crystaline?
