That this image from the navigation camera on Sol 115 for Opportunity shows a "piece of wood" on Mars. If anybody's got a minute can you point me to a link on this? I've been looking for an hour but I'm hardly anywhere up to speed on the topic. Thanks!

To me, it falls into the catgory of 'it looks like X, therefore that's what it is.' However, you can see a flat part on the forward/top side, reflecting the light just like the rest of the rocks in the shot. The dark part is the raisied, back side of the rock, in shadow. Anyway, that's my interpretation.
