After viewing this "plant" from a different angle I have concluded it is nothing more than channels carved into the rocks giving the appearance of something in front of them.
Something else in this same pic that my Girlfriend spotted, looks like a plant, among the boxes, corroded metal and assorted junk. There also seems to be a pair of headphones halfway down under the "plant" or whatever it is.
Here is the clarified wreckage I was referring to in my first post. This pic makes it pretty clear that what you are looking at is not rocks or any other type of geologic formation.
Nice find Macten, and thanks for the color version polluks. Sure looks like wreckage to me. Or maybe some kind of battle debris from a long ago war. The red squares are ones that I cropped and the blue squares are ones that I should have.
Hi Macten, the reason we ask for the links is so that we can verify the find by downloading the image ourself and taking a look at it from the originals. If we do not have the opportunity to do that we tend not to comment as the image may have been manipulated in some way.
Qmantoo designed an amazing programme under Mars Decoder in the Mars pages. If you enter the official link it will give you other images taken on the same day. It is a very useful tool.
Macten, this is a VERY interesting image. I am sure that members (including myself will comment on it once they've had time to work through the image)

Interesting, I don't remember seeing this before but cannot help with comments if I cannot look at the image myself.
If you use the official sites, when you save the image there is a number. This is how I save, then I post the number as reference and anyone can go to the site they prefer and type in the number to view the image. There is also a wonderful decoding programme on this site designed by a Mod where you can type in that number and get all kinds of info.
Please bear that in mind when saving images in future so that we can all follow your evidence and give you feedback.
I was looking through a previosly studied pic, I dont have the official name but I will post the whole pic, and I found what appears to be a hidden disk with some kind of pattern and a light coming from it. (probably a reflection)
This doesn't look like anything you see in a natural formation, at least here on earth. The whole crater appears to be scattered with the wreckage of some large craft. Maybe it actually caused the cratering when it crashed.
The "dots" only appear after you sharpen and contrast. It seems like the pic was de-contrasted on purpose to hide this artifact.
