Oddly shaped Mars rock contains fossilized animal head?

On September 9, 2014, Opportunity’s Pancam made several close-up views of rocks lying near the rover.

The rocks were probably thrown out by the Ullysses Crater impact.

Especially one rock took our attention. It looks like the rock contains a part of the head of an animal that turned to stone.

If you look carefully, right ear and eyes are clearly visible


Of course it may be pareidolia and it is just an oddly shaped rock, what you think?
