Okay, we now have definitive pictures of VL1, 2, Spirit, Opportunity, and a Pathfinder coming up soon. So, now, what would the lost landers look like, starting with Beagle, MPL, and Mars 6, which will be the easiest to find of the landers. Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

If it is on top of the lander, the chute could stay cleaner because the dust would slide off the fabric. It's an interesting find either way, maybe it's a large outcropping of gypsum?
