in the lower left corner. (This is at the Spirit site.)

To my untrained eye, it resembles a mass of decayed vegetation.
Unfortunately, it appears to be on a fairly steep slope that might be
inaccessible to the rover.

Do you mean the large black rock? Well, you know the drill, it's probably
just a rock, volcanic. Are you ready for Solar conjunction, no images for 2
weeks because Mars will go behind the sun?

There are pics of that rock in some of the images from sol 161, from the side.
Just another odd shaped rock.
