It's an artifact, evidence of an alien intelligence on Mars.
It is the MER B heatshield.
The panorama shot, that includes the not-log, on the rim of Endurance Crater, was on the southeast side, probably close to the farthest extent of the counter-clockwise trip, before they headed back for the drive in. (

From there the white thing would lie roughly south, and that's where the heatshield was found.
