I’ve stumbled across another uniquely-shaped pebble. My team thinks it resembles an open book with pages blowing in the wind – but at only an inch across, it would be a teeny tiny book...

I snapped this image with the MAHLI instrument on the end of my robotic arm. Put on a pair of red-blue 3D glasses to see what I see! -NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover
