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 -------------------- |

After years of sulphate sandstone and a winter looking at a chunk of suevite this is ultra cool. There does not seem to be much deformation in the spherules and if they are devitrified glass wouldn't this indicate a lack of compaction? ie. If they were formed pre-Endeavour then they would have been deposited pretty close to the old surface . A thin section of unweathered rock would come in handy about now. I wonder if the APXS will be able to provide an indication of the nature of the matrix? The next Opportunity related LPSC papers should be real interesting.
Edit: Just to put CosmicRocker's look around in context, is this a view of the outcrop from the Sol 2751 position? http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/n/...J7P1907R0M1.JPG |
