NASA's Mars rover Curiosity:
Possible Entranceway Photographed
Additional information about this anomaly is now available, Neville Thompson put together a colour Gigapan featuring the anomalies.

The photographs wwere taken by Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3466.

The anomalies featured here look like typical entranceways cut into a rockface or slope you would find here on Earth, e.g. in Egypt. In the one it looks like there is a ramp leading up to and into the entranceway, there seems to be a perfect straight edge frame and possibly cracked plaster on the inside wall. I speculate the feature to be a couple of metres tall. There also seems to be an object to the bottom right of the opening which Joe and I speculate may have covered the opening.

In the second one we see similar right angles and straight edges (the open side seems to reveal a wall or slab of uniform thickness as well as a peculiar dark like running diagonally across the opening).

My friend Thomas Mikey Jensen also discovered more anomalies in this Gigapan, one of which looks like a broken wall made of similar sized blocks.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.
