Mastcam: Right 2014-08-05 13:28:20 UTC – Original Image from Mars Rover Curiosity at Hidden Valley
This photo is probably one of the most, if not the most interesting and packed full of artifacts (animals and engineered stones). This includes the stone that the fish is carved on the turtle’s head, the bull’s head, the octopus, group of heads and two clearly engineered stones.
The image highlights the bull’s head, the fish carved out on top of a detailed turtle’s head, two dog heads piled near each other, octopus and eel.
Rock with rounded top with circle image and 90 degree raised angles
Rectangle rock with straight lines and 90 degree angles with circle image on it.
I don’t know what this is but it’s definetly symmetrical with curved middle and even appendages on both sides. Also has an eye.
Same image as above but with enhanced filter applied, can see eye a little better.
Slightly different angle from above, maybe it’s a bird (owl) with beak and wings out spread in front?
Two dog head/faces
Same image as above but with enhanced filter. Top head has long ear and pointy nose. Bottom head has droopy cheeks with long nose.

Engineered rock on the left and a raised fish on a turtle face(?) which I believe is all one piece.
