I do not know if is Voltaire or another one, but the fractured rock Spirit is analyzing is pretty interesting...
First, there is a strange "extruded" portion, visible in the right/low region of this "crossed eyes" stereogram:

Herebelow, L257 PanCam image in the top portion; I highlighted in red the portion pictured with MI (lower mosaic):

Many interesting features, here. In addition to the sand filled fracture, there is a strange circular feature (enlarged in the small picture)... someone could see a biological fossil fingerprint in it ?... rolleyes.gif

I was just about to give up looking for that tank tread track, but just then I think I noticed what algorimancer was talking about. I've cropped the image and perhaps somewhat abused the unsharp mask filter to make the feature a little more visible, then added an arrow to point it out. It is slightly below the tip of the arrow, but still not terribly obvious.

It is just barely resolvable, so I don't think much can be said about it. I'm not sure it would look like a track if it were viewed with the MI.
