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.
