Is this proof of life on Mars?  There seems to be a second one about
five o'clock from the first.

I think this is not proof, but rather one of many indications of life on Mars which taken together add up to proof. There is a third too. For pixel coordinates and URL of the original NASA photo, see top of page 9 of:

for my post of February 25, 2004 on this topic, and much more ancillary information. My hypothesis for the fibrous material: "decaying [lichen] medulla, which consists of lots of one celled hyphae, very thin long white fibers." A copy of the vortex post is appended below.

Not all the Opportunity grind photos are completely fuzzy.  For example:

This photo shows twisted rope-like fiber bundles at pixel coordinates:

494,392;  530,188;  341,136.

One of the features is cut and attached.

There are also various depressions that have the look of containing a
disrupted and mangled fiber mat. Not as clear as the twisted fiber bundles
noted above, but it still looks like the grind area had a lot of fibrous
material in it.
