How about some dimensions [...]? A picture may be worth a
thousand words, but a picture with dimensions and some words is worth
a lot more.

The shadow of the photographer is a pretty good hint. The crisp edges of
the shadow imply something close to life-size. So the image is roughly
six foot high. Image width is maybe nine feet...

Hmm. I'm not so sure. Was Paul leaning over very far when he imaged this
debris? from the way the shadow is formed, I suspect he was standing up,
towards mid-day, when this was shot.

On a slightly-related subject, Opportunity seems to have spotted her old
backshell again in

....in the left third of the pan, at about ten o'clock from the low-gain mast.

And I'll bet there's _still_ some engineer at JPL who's wishing like hell
he could steer over there and get some nice clean close-ups of the effects
of atmospheric entry and the subsequent five months of weathering.
