Bright object seen after vibrating CHIMRA UPDATED

Images of the successful scooping move are coming in and already there is an issue of a worrying sort; there is a bright object sitting next to the rover in front of it and it may be connected to CHIMRA when it was being vibrated.

Quoting the mission site's recent update:

Curiosity's first scooping activity appeared to go well on Oct. 7. Subsequently, the rover team decided to refrain from using the rover's robotic arm on Oct. 8 due to the detection of a bright object on the ground that might be a piece from the rover. Instead of arm activities during the 62nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission, Curiosity is acquiring additional imaging of the object to aid the team in identifying the object and assessing possible impact, if any, to sampling activities.

So we really haven't a clue what on Mars this thing is. Hopefully the girl isn't in any danger of shaking herself to bits! Better images of the object will definitely help to see what it is.

UPDATE: ChemCam, which is an instrument used to laze materials at a distance and take close-up views of the resulting bright vapor's light with its built-in imager/spectrometer has taken great shots of the object:

I really can't tell what kind of material it is from this image. But it's certainly real enough to have the team worried.
