Mars Rover image of thigh bone sparks media frenzy & NASA response

Article from the website examiner.com.

On August 14, the Mars Curiosity Rover photographed an object that appears to be a thigh bone on the Martian surface. When the photo was released by NASA’s JPL affiliate a few days later, initial observers claimed that the object was a fossilized bone fragment.
