Default Mars Spirit Duracrust Soil Anomalies

March 19, 2004

Besides all the obvious anomalies in these latest series of soil
photomicrographs, the apparent stickyness, the numerous threaded
grains, soil fibers, unusual soil micro patterning and micro
texturing, that we have now come to expect and love, and even besides
the unusual rounded pebbles and micro spherules, there is this small
'stalk' sticking up above the duracrust :

Do you see it? I am sure there is a 'prosaic' explanation for all of
this.

Where is this "stalk?" I'm not seeing it.

That would be an interesting idea for a TV show.

Im thinking more along the lines of "Tele Tubbies", to match his maturity

Considering these are science newsgroups, the whole sequence of
responses seems so mature.

Not one of you has addressed the ramifications of the image, rounded
layered apparent concretions and/or biomineralizations on top of an
aeolean sand dune, fine grained thread infested subsurface, and an
apparent secretion husk still clinging to one of the pebbles. A purely
inorganic deposition scenario for these features would be almost
unprecedented, even in your trivial universe.

I have no idea what you idiots are trying to prove, but it certainly
isn't your scientific maturity.

I love it I love it:-) man you are good, I did not notice it before.
Now we will hear it is an image artifact I am sure :-(
Tell yo uwhat, mars is as ALIVE as can be
