Original caption for the subject image: NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity acquired this image, a frame of the “Longquimay” mosaic showing fine-scale sedimentary textures in a bedrock block near the supersurface, using its Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), located on the turret at the end of the rover’s robotic arm. Curiosity acquired the image on Aug. 1, 2026 — Sol 4972, or Martian day 4,972 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission — at 23:35:43 UTC. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS

My description: Red arrows point to segments of artificial structures in “Longquimay” on Mars. A NASA scientist incorrectly described the material as sedimentary texture (see the caption mentioned above.). Image width: about 10 cm. Countless evidence for the subject claim: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fossil_lin/albums/72177720309883374/
