Default Confirmed: Seven muscle fascicles in a limb on Mars.

Get US$10,000 by falsifying this petrified limb on Mars

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit recently (on sol 1863 and sol
1866) discovered the transverse section of a fossil limb of a Mars
animal. The limb measured about 3.6 centimeters across in the
transverse section. Almost perfectly preserved were its skin tissue,
fascia tissuse, muscles, bones, etc., which are all labelled in Figure
1 below. More suprising were seven perfect muscle fascicles found in a
muscle of the limb, as labelled in Figure 2 below.

Anyone who can prove me wrong will be rewarded with US$10,000.
