Mysterious Footprints on Mars photographed by Perseverance Rover (explained)

On April 26, 2021 NASA’s Perseverance Rover photographed mysterious Footprints and Dents in the sand of Mars with foot-like rock on the surface. In this video I’ve tried to explain where those Footprints and Dents on the surface are come from. Biggest of them are definitely from rover’s Drill/Turret. Small ones are dents from screws on rover’s Turret. When Perseverance uses Sherlock/Watson camera, it puts Turret on the ground as close as possible. Round parts on Turret (screws and drills) are leaving dents in the sand. Multiple dents on some of demonstrated pictures are formed when rover takes panoramic photo. It takes shots in different directions and every time moves Turret on couple centimeters. So there are multiple prints from the Drill in the sand of Mars.
