Possible camouflaged lifeform? - animation

On the geology forum, Kye Goodwin has pointed out some odd polka dots in Meridiani. I was hoping they might show some sign of extant life - like ant beds, perhaps, and found an interesting circular object camouflaged nearby.

The object I found is in the lower right 1/4 of this image that Kye had posted:

The next animation, shows the featured area in multiple contrast/brightness views. I have the whole object move to delineate it from the sand.

DISCLAIMER from dbn:
All the motion in my animated images is artificial. That is, I put the motion in the images using my graphics program and my imagination. These animated images of mine are not meant to portray true motion or time lapse animation. This is simply an imaging technique which I am using to separate the observed feature from the background, for purposes of clear presentation and discussion.

(More to come).

The object is difficult to see. So, in this animation, I created a 3d image, which I adjusted through various frames to show the area in selected brightness/contrast adjustments:

Oh well. I see my 3d animation didn't survive the gif conversion and internet uploading process with much detail.
