I wonder if Steve Squyres is still interested in taking another look at Fuzzy Smith. It looks like Spirit will be be passing right by it after mounting Home Plate. Does Fuzzy still hold the record for silica content?
"...loose rocks atop Home Plate include the small, irregularly shaped rock Fuzzy Smith. It has the highest silica content reported to date (May 2007) on the mission. Scientists believe hydrothermal processes "bleached" out the primary elements in the rock, leaving the silica behind." |
