Another weird thing found by Curiosity Mars rover, a strange-looking little metallic-looking protuberance on the Martian soil. Image © NASA/JPL-Caltech/Malin Space Science Systems. Image via 2di7 & titanio44 on Flickr.

The image of the thing probably about 0.5 cm tall, projecting a shadow on the rock, was taken with the right Mastcam on Curiosity on Sol 173 — January 30, 2013.
