Default Opportunity backshell and the parachute

I'm almost sure to have discovered, in one of the last images released
by JPL/MER and acquired by MER-A navigation camera on Sol 13, the
backshell and the parachute, located not far from the rover.


Well, I think you may be right. There's a more close-up view at

I got this from http://spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/status.html which
also has views of the area taken from orbit, including
parachute/backshell, lander, and some of the rocket/bounce marks.
