Dinosaur Fossil on Mars

Since I was about 12 years old I have been fascinated by the planet Mars.  At that age I would visit the Albany Park Library and read all the books about the Red Planet to learn more about if it harbored any life. I believe that the NASA Curiosity rover has been finding earth shattering evidence that life indeed was present or that life in some form of another is still present there today.  But they are not telling us---officially.  Case in point is this awesome photograph I found on their website.

NASA describes this photograph as being mineral vein deposits which sit on Mount Sharp.  NASA also describes the protruding minerals as not being more than 2.5 inches from the "host rock".  To me this picture which was posted on April 2, 2015 looks more like the skeleton of a fossilized dinosaur or reptilian creature.  Growing up I also read a lot of books on dinosaurs and fossils.  Being a Christian did not deter me at all about trying to be a young scientist.  As a matter of fact, it fascinated me even more to learn about God's creations.

Getting back to the photo---I can clearly see a head at the lower right side.  The head is followed by a long neck, which then expands to what appears to be a rib cage and appendages.  Towards the very end moving to the left, at least to me, it looks what appears to be a tail.  I might also add that NASA found this little piece of evidence in "Garden City."  Garden City?  Hmmm.  There might be other things they might have found but like I said before that they are not telling us. It would be great if we had a true palentologist analyze these mineral deposits and see what they conclude.  Or what do you think?  are these just minerals, or is it a fossilized skeleton of a dinosaur?
