wow

Found it based on new programming. "self-directed" I read. Call it "Serpent Head" after Ohio mound?

Bounced serendipitously off Phobos or Deimos? There's one in Africa like it, though < situ + Mecca

It looks like metal..... Greate pic.

How big do you think it is? Hard to judge from the photo itself.

Buon lavoro Oppy!!!!

so I'm puzzled: why is the meteorite just there on a nice flat surface? shouldn't it be in a hole/crater? Or has it been there so long, the terrain above and around it has eroded/shifted away?

Oooh Star Iron. How's Oppy set for making a magical sword! :)

It is metalic looking. It is part of a crashed alien space craft. Underneath it you will find strange symbols & a part number.

Ya. Most Meteorites are Metallic, Heavy in Iron with a small percent of Nickel most often.

This is ultra cool!!!

This is so cool!

Parts of the "rock" look metallic - I wonder...

*pets Oppy* good Job there!

Nice job, Oppy! Great photography, too! Bet ya can't wait to get ur paws on it! #opportunity

Seems so familiar.

I wonder what under that rock?

It annoys me that a machine millions of miles away can take much (MUCH) better photographs than I

It blows me away that this is a picture from the surface of MARS! So very cool! Amazing!

Exciting!
