We seem to be headed toward Hawking rock -- so is a new topic appropriate? And if so, what is it? Someone has mentioned a meteorite. Other obvious possibility is a hunk of ejecta. Or even a piece of the "original" terrain sticking up through the ejecta blanket -- like a petrified tree stump ?!? (Just joking . . .)

Well, who's 'responsible' to un-officially name the rocks that both MERs encounter ... we've had the STS-107 Columbia crewmembers, native American tribes, South Pole stations & researchers, etc ...
I believe someone asked Squyres during an interview where the inspiration for naming the Martian features came from ?
