Oooooh, you're pretty...
Might be here a while, you think? Edit: better colours on this amended version, I think... http://twitpic.com/apn9s1/full -------------------- |

... I'm not yet sure whether we are looking at a coherent stack of everted rim bedrock or a rubble-pile of ejecta... Me, too. It seemed to me that we should be able to make some guesses about the ages of these rocks from their dips and strikes, so I took a look around. ... If these are lapilli ...? Lapilli are a very specific type of spherule. Should we expect a certain kind of internal structure in them as compared to glassy spherules?... unless Endeavour's current "rim" is not actually the original rim but instead an erosional remnant of the ejecta deposited outside... I'm not sure, but since the apparent rim of Endeavour as seen topographically appears to be discontinuous and significantly eroded (and, since we are all making wild guesses here lately), I'll guess we are somewhat outside of the original rim.-------------------- ...Tom
