The original MOC image can be found here. This image in the post is like the very top of that strip of images.
What we’re seeing here is our brains playing tricks on us. The “top” of the square is just wind swept edge of the crater that’s being imaged. The shadowy line going from the “top” corner to the bottom right corner isn’t even in the original image, it’s an artifact that’s cropped up from the image being transmitted over and over and over again on the internet. Same with our line from the “top corner” to the left corner.
The bottom corner is just some rocks that happen to be in the image as well. You can literally see they are different than the wind swept hills of the crater. I hate that people lack the ability for critical thinking skills. Especially when all of this can be confirmed by a two second Google search.

I think the addition to the image was done so maliciously. It doesn’t look like artifacting at all to me
It’s pareidolia, which has been a problem with Martian imagery for a long time.
