It's either a data drop-out block or a road sign saying in Martian
"Welcome to Endurance Crater. Please Drive Carefully."

It reads, in High Martian:

DANGER!!! KEEP OUT!!!
Dormant giant ant lion!

(Well, actually it's "Dormant gwthrybbb!", but it seemed best to give
an approximate equivalent.)

If the rover goes down into Endurance, the forward hazard camera may live
up to its name with one last image as the giant pincers close in...
