OK, my reaction, looking at it now for a minute or so.
There is one cut in half, in the middle of the pic just about.
This proves to me these things are SOFT, else it would have been slung away by the rotating
tool.
This confirms the mushroom idea.
My 2 Euro cents worth.

Don't be silly! We all know that the alien mushrooms in the solar
system are found on *Pluto*. That dread trans-Neptunian planet whose
discovery placed our planet in grave danger, by opening a psychic link
between us and its intelligent fungal inhabitants, to whom it is known
as...

Yuggoth!

Yes, the day when "the stars are right" is coming dangerously closer.

Nice.

Here's an (unofficial) color version:

I played around with making that color image myself, but it just doesn't
work. I think the lighting changed significantly between the exposures
in different filters... The red filter is also in the IR, whih adds to
the trouble.

I agree with you, it is soft that is consistent with the way they erode, if they were hard rocks they would not have this morphology.

The print left by the RAT on this image indicates a very soft stuff !

Print? That was form a few hours of drilling, dude! This stuff is not
soft.

YES a print, just look to the tool, then to the anaglyph (and please put your red/cyan glasses on your nose)

The tool:

The print of the guide ring:

There is a ripple that was formed by the ring when the arm applied the RAT on this so called "rock". I know that this is very disturbing, but we have to trust our eyes, don't we ?

Um.... I believe that "ripple" is simply the rock powder created by grinding away the
rock.

Just like the ring of sawdust created around a hole drilled through a board.

P.S. Sorry for the top-post... Something about the OP message prevented me from bottom
posting without getting my text indented w/ the quoted text.

Yes. Just like at the other RATs. Some people need to pay a little
more attention and use a little less imagination.
