Check out these images of the Spirit landing site taken by Mars Global Surveyor:
http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/2004/01/23/index.html Visible in the photos are the Spirit lander, the parachute and backshell, the heatshield impact, and bounce marks. Spirit actually bounced in and out of a small crater on the 4th bounce. The heatshield landed near the rim of a large crater, and it looks like it may have gone into the crater. This crater, incidently, is the same crater that the rover is slated to visit, at a distance of 250 meters away.
