None of these magnified seem to show the same pile of detail as in the OP photo. Don't see the "little doggie" that is looking at us in the OP photo, and the "cottage" is pretty much just a pointy shaped rock, to my view. I do not see an anomaly in the actual photos. For sure, thanks for posting this for us to look at!!

edit: Actually, now that I look at my first 2 listed photos above again, I can see the pile of what makes up the cottage, but it is more clear to not be that in other 2 photos - just a jumble of rocks.

Magnified only. That appears to be a very definitive vertical 'line' for the 'wall' with the 'window' in it - the ONLY such vertical 'edifice' in the photo.

Looking up the specs on Martian cottage construction, we found that redwood A-frames were a favorite
for country living, due to the wood's superior weathering abilities. Be sure to place your order for
this quality building material with Pegasus Lumber Supply.







What's up with the obvious smudge just to the left of the 'Little House on the Prairie?'

Someone spilled their coffee on the image or was it intentionally smudged to obscure something?



Or, OMG!, the Unimaginable!

That image is from the "left eye" camera, the with the smaller focal length, so it gives a wider field of view and smaller magnifying of that area when compared with the photos taken by the "right eye" camera, the ones on the third and fourth link posted by rdunk.

In those you can see the "house" much better.

That's what happens with too much JPEG compression of small objects in an image, look at the photos from the 3rd and 4th links posted by rdunk.

Greetings:

Thank you, ArMaP, for the detailed analysis.

As always, spot on.   

The other photos show rocks, IMHO, no Little House on the Prairie.

Rocks, no magnification.




Rocks, magnified.

Greetings:

We are stumped on the 'wall with window' and the perfect 'A-frames' and the vertical line where the 'side wall' meets the 'front of the house' being an 'artifact of compression', especially since there are no other similar examples... or are there?

Thank you all for your time and consideration.

From the original image, no magnification.

Remember, as Jim Oberg informed us, 'one cannot believe one's eyes..."

As is I mentioned, and as did ArMaP and T4W, the later 2 pics do not show the a-frame, just rocks. And please notice, the is a dark shadow there. that in the first 2 pics is seen as a window.

Anyone else see the little doggie in front of the window just looking at the camera/us (1st 2 pics)?

My first question was what are the measurements?

Curiosity is small, so from those cameras a house for a "human" being would need to be bigger on those images?

Well, after all it is a rock anyway:)
