I found very strange zig-zag lines in above Martian image link.
Do Earth rocks have similar zig-zag lines after a Rock Abrasion Tool
(RAT) has brushed them?
Could those zig-zag lines result from RAT's brushing different layers
of organic tissues instead of inorganic rock?

The comment on that same page specifically states two pictures taken at
different daytimes and lighting conditions were combined into one, and that
this caused the artifacts.
