White arrows point to small rocks in eroded Martian-made concrete material.

White lines go to tiny round pits produced by air bubbles while Martians produced the concrete.

Red arrows: tiny round pits in another two objects.

There is not such a geological rock on Earth. Only humans can make such artificial rocks. The object cannot be a rock, because it has small rocks under many tiny round pits. Igneous rocks may possess pits called geological vesicles, but igneous rocks do not contain rocks (note 1). Sedimentary rocks may contain small rocks, but sedimentary rocks possess no such pits. For comparison, the following photos show pits in concrete materials of Earth and of Mars, as well as geological vesicles:

Note 1: "If the magma cools quickly, small crystals form in the rock. This can happen if the magma erupts from a volcano." (quoted from www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/science/environment_earth_univ... )
