Sol 199 Opportunity
I wonder if someone with more knowledge could explain how these items get moved please?

In the first pair of links, an item has moved but everything else stays in the original place.
In the second pair of links the item has been moved and the indentation left behind is perfect, so this suggests to me that it has not been removed by a clumsy robotic arm or clamp but by a pair of tweezers or similar. No conspiracy just a genuine amazement at how these moved between shots on the same Sol and a hope that someone can shed more light on it. For example, what instrument does the rover carry which could move these without making some kind of large indentation in the ground as they were moved?
