Maybe it's just a part of a rock, but in the other frames it sure looks like an impression.
Spirit pancam sol 50 or 51.

I wonder how long it would take on Mars for windblown dust to fill in an impression.

Note the many stones with holes in them.

Maybe they can get a DNA sample?
I'd like to believe, but it looks like the banded rocks they've previously found. Besides if rocks from MArs can end up on Earth, why not the reverse. If astronauts smuggled things aboard the manned flights, why couldn't a tech stow something in these unmanned missions to salt on Mars?

That sure looks like a worm, They need to send a probe there with a higher power microscope that could see fossilized bacteria. Fascinating.

Hadenuf observatory 8/30/03. Some of us can clearly see, even from our own backyards, that the chance of water on Mars, in one form or another is great. This very amateur image clearly shows the polar ice cap and some surface detail....

CO2 and H2O have both been identified in at least one of the polar caps. Water vapor is also present in the atmosphere, but only as trace. The bonanza would be to find deep deposits of permafrost over a significant area: that would be water that could form the basic resource for a future settlement.

Another thing - meteorite impacts on Earth could have thrown up debris, some of which could have reached Mars in the distant past.

Hmm...in the center, it looks like a outline of a rats' head!

Someone on FR the other day suggested you raid your kids' dresser drawers to find that pair they used at the last 3D movie they went to, lol. That was me, and I mean it they work great. You could also find a showing of Spy-Kids 3D and pick up a pair that come with the price of the movie
