Some pretty complex driving by the look of it:

Steve Squyres has a new update today, with a lot of discussion of these rocks.
http://athena1.cornell.edu/news/mubss/ I was actually thinking of posting a message here today arguing for an impact origin of these rocks, but Steve says they favor a volcaniclastic origin. He also has some interesting discussion of the distribution of alteration they have observed. Apparently they have seen some pretty significant alteration, even at the top of the section. -------------------- ...Tom
