- Interesting observation. I think you have inadvertantly
made the case for the landing site being a very muddy area. I certainly
couldn't picture the standard desert sand deforming, then staying like
that. Judging by the difference in texture being the "bounce spot"
and surrounding granular area, the particles appear to have coalesced together,
not unlike the texture of a muddy seashore at low tide here on Earth.

- I imagine the marks were left for so long due to the
fact that the rover is pretty heavy and fell a long way into a crater where
winds are less likely to gust around as much, considering the terrain doesn't
appear to be muddy as much as flattened.
