The legs are not separate. It doesn't look like a walking being, unless it's a Mars Woman instead, and is wearing a skirt. I would like to know, however, how such a rock could be formed naturally. The arm doesn't look natural for a rock. I could more easily expect rocks of strange shapes in places where there is water.

Martian atmosphere is thin, but there are winds that carry sand, which can erode the rocks.

It's a rock.


Integral adds:
1. You are given no scale, is that 1" or 100'
2.From the article:
But a space fan spotted the figure, which was just a pinprick in the original photograph. It was blown up and posted on a website. It's a photochop.
