NASA's Mars rover Curiosity acquired this photo with left Mast Camera on Aug. 27, 2015 (Sol 1087) near Marias Pass in Gale Crater, Mars. In the red circle is a curving corrugated sheet found on Mars. Image source: mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=1087ML00477601405…

1. Red line 1 goes to a flat surface while red line 2 goes to a corrugated surface.
2. Red lines 3 and 4 go to the upward curving portions of the object. 
3. The object is thinner than 1 cm (see mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=1087ML00477601405… )

Rocks that are so thin do not curve and corrugate like this.
