I found a partly covered jar that has ribbed sides running from top to bottom. Its kind of artistic compared to most things I find. The top of the jar is exposed, but only the side, not the top opening area. Still its very unusual that the rover came within two feet of this ancient artefact and didn't even pause to take more in depth photos of it. But thats NASA for you. They are not there to share the discoveries with the public. They are there to drop feed the public dry facts and thus satisfy the public curiosity, while still keeping ancient life on Mars a secret. Why keep it a secret? To keep the competition to a minimum for building a city on Mars. If other counties new it was habitable, then many countries would start planning to build cities there...which could cause land wars, trade wars, who owns what, who was first? And so on.
