Ha!
Just as I thought that was a rare rock, maybe never to be seen again, here's another one, right next to the rover and to the left of the spot it recently abraded and cored.

Now, let's try and make sense out of this image captured by #Perseverance earlier tosol. The distance is about 2.5m away from the camera, just to the right of the right front wheel of the rover. What exactly is that we see here?
