BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed here was acquired by the Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) onboard the Mars Perseverance rover. The camera is located high on the rover’s mast and aids in driving. This image was acquired on Sept. 18, 2025 (Sol 1628) at the local mean solar time of 11:03:02.
ANALYSIS:
It’s been a while since the Perseverance rover photographed any anomalies or out-of-place objects, but that all changed on 18 September 2025 when the rover photographed what I speculate could be a fossilized bone fragment. It is similar in appearance to a Moa bone fragment I reference in the video.
As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.
THE ANOMALIES ON MARS:
Following is the photograph taken by the rover as well as close-up view of the anomaly:

Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel is not the run-of-the-mill free AI image upscaler. It is an expensive piece of sophisticated software used in studios and by professional photographers around the world, even NASA uses Topaz Labs upscaling technology.

DISCLAIMER:
Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.
In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.
My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.
