Hope that link works.  Looks like a shell.

I followed the link to the researchers page.  The "researcher" doesn't even share the original image numbers.  Irritating.

That is because it is Scott C Waring

Sigh ......

It looks like this new "discovery" is just the result of Scott Waring finding an image he didn't know (I suppose it's 2P207413501EFFAS00P2278L4M1) that was part of the panorama (PIA01907) in which he first found this "shell".

His first discovery was published here, at the bottom of the page.

The idiots from the Daily Mail (even in the science section) don't even know the difference between Gusev and Gale craters, so they say Curiosity took that photo as being taken by Curiosity on Gusev crater on the day Scott Waring published about it, when it was taken by Spirit in 2012 in Gusev crater.

OK, he's dumb.... but it still looks a shell..... or maybe part of a tennis ball

It looks more like half of a tennis ball to me, I have seen many sea shells and I haven't seen one looking like that.

[Eighthman]

or the cover of a baseball.... you know,  when the ball's stitches come loose.  Non-biologically speaking, I'm puzzled as to hollow rocks. Geodes don't look like that.  You need a hard outer shell forming around a ball of ice or material to be dissolved.  Can't think of any Earthy examples.

Maybe a Christmas tree decoration hanging ball??

Can't think of any Earthy examples.

I can.

There are definitely sea shells on Mars.100% sure! Can't wait until they admit to that!

Here we have the subject of pseudofossils:

Yet, I don't see much that looks Martian.  You're gonna need better pseudofossils.
