NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity used its Hand Lens Imager to take this photo on Aug. 23, 2015 (Sol 1082) near Marias Pass in Gale Crater, Mars. Red lines go to tiny black round holes. Most of these holes are smaller than one millimeter across. Such tiny round holes (vesicles) appear only in concrete (note 1) and volcanic rocks (note 2). The object at center is not a volcanic rock, because it shows cement at photo center (note 3). So, it should be concrete like this:

Note 2: “Vesicular texture is a volcanic rock texture characterized by a rock being pitted with many cavities (known as vesicles) at its surface and inside. [1]” Quoted from first sentence in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicular_texture
Probably from an old Martian garage or patio.
