Rather, I think it might be the newly exposed/unweathered/shadowed face of a larger rock that blends almost seamlessley into the background surface. I've attached a couple of images to try and point out what I mean.

Of course, seeing things that aren't really there is the whole point of this thread so I could be completely wrong.
I had the same impression too. However, I think I remember seeing a stereo pair that gave a 3D image of the scene, and that didn't seem to show the rock you outlined.

Indeed, I remember it too: it IS actually a 3d rock big-foot shaped.... but still a rock.
