THE OBJECT IS PART OF A LARGER HOUSING TO THE RIGHT WHICH IS SHOWN BELOW. ONE CAN SEE A SHINY ALLOY BEARING LIKE  ROUND CYLINDER IN THE MIDDLE OF A METAL HOUSING WITH HOLLOW CHAMBERS FOR FLUID OR GAS FLOW. THIS LOOKS LIKE MACHINERY TO TRANSFER POWER, LIKE A POWER CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION-GEARBOX.

 

 ROUND CYLINDER IN THE MIDDLE OF A METAL HOUSING

THE BLUR FACTOR IS VERY HIGH HOWEVER FOCUS ON THE MAIN BEARING IN
THE MIDDLE WITH DRILLED HOLES
THE HOUSING AROUND THE GEARS AND BEARINGS HAS DETERIORATED GREATLY

MORE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS 
MOTORCYCLES HAVE GEAR TRAINS, ENGINES, AND COWLING?

TWEAKING THE CONTRAST BRINGS OUT MORE  MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
THE COMPONENTS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO DRIVE UNITS TO TRANSFER POWER
FROM AN ENGINE TO IMPLEMENTS  

                                                     

THE HOUSING TO THE LEFT HAS OXIDIZED AND IS HARD TO DISTINGUISH FROM ROCK. THE RED IRON OXIDE APPEARANCE IS CONSISTENT WITH IRON. THIS COULD JUST BE A ROCK IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE GEOMETRY AND A SPRING AND GEAR LOOKING DETAILS IN THE OBJECT TO THE  FAR RIGHT

****GEOMETRIC SHAPES***
THE DISTANCE IS FAR FROM THE FOREGROUND BUT WORTH POSTING
AS THE GEOMETRIC SHAPES  IS STILL DISCERNABLE AS  MACHINERY

ON THE RIDGE LINE MORE MACHINES

 HEAD COVERING WITH CHINE  A STRAP ?
  GAS MASK WITH HELMET ? 
WITH ENOUGH TIME VICTIMS MAY HAVE HAD 
TIME TO PUT ON A MASK? 

 

 FRONT CYLINDER TO FILTER THE AIR
ROUNDED HELMET LIKE SHAPE OF SKULL

SPECULATION FROM THE MARTIAN 

 Machinery parts are spread in may images on SOL 345. Alloyed metals will resist corrosion and weathering much better than rot iron, thus sophisticated  alloys are a result of a advance industrial civilization. Molded housings to cover machinery is consistent with vehicles ridden by individuals.  A motor cycle is not far fetched. 
A being wearing a gas mask is a sign of conflict, however the dust became a serious problem during the electric storms.
