A dime on Mars? ;)

Notice the disk-shaped object near the center of the image.
Looks just like a dime!

Maybe the rover is shedding some of its parts?

Oh yeah! It looks perfectly circular. If it isn't from the rover then ....

Hey, that's mine! I dropped it when I was looking for water. It has
a picture of Roosevelt on it (in case any of you needed proof).

I think the scale is wrong. The parallel ridges at the
top of the photo appear to be from the rovers wheel
treads. If this is so, the disk-like object is much
smaller than a dime.

Here is link to the color pic @ my tripod site.

It works for me, but Tripod gets weird about pics being linked to from
one of their free webspace pages.

If it doesn't work then goto the main page @
http://members.tripod.com/~tucoan
and fight the banners & pop-ups 'they' put there.

It looks like the cleaved half of an above average sized hematite
sphere. It is less than twice the average size of the other spheres
in the photo, to my eye.

The size and the spectra both match a split spherule.

Yeah, I agree with these guys, probably just a 'blueberry' that has split in
half.
