As much as I would like to find evidence of life or prior life on
Mars, I have to agree that the object shown in the picture is just an
impression of one of the Mars Curiosity Rover instruments. If you
look you will see that the big rock in the picture has been moved as
if something pushed against it and the soil looks to be of a sandy
nature, perfect for the making of an impression. I agree that it
looks like the head of a Phillips screw.

That looks a lot like the impression left from a Philips screw head
that has been pressed into the soil, since the image is from the
Microscopic Imager it would be helpful to know the scale of the
impression, if the artifact is in the 2 to 8 mm range, I would guess
that part of the instrumentation used to position the Microscopic
Imager was moved into contact with the surface leaving the mark of the screw.
