I saw a picture of the object being held on the arm of the rover. I
read on other forum that the thing is a fulgurite, a rock formed when
sand is hit by a lightning bolt.

Bunnycide update.


If "it" was rocks, how come they're not still somewhat
visible? Did the wheel push them completely under the soil?
Or did the rover go over the what's-it at all?


The thingummyjig was gone before the rover even left the lander,
so it couldn't have squished it.

Take a look:
