Been busy with other things for a while, so it's nice to be back and see all the photo imaging work on the site going from strength to strength
![]() I think a lot of you guys would really enjoy "Curiosity On Mars:First Results" 3 part x approx 2 hr presentations at the EuroGeosciences Union General Assembly published on the EGU Channel on YouTube on May16th. Plenty of good listening for the weekend! Although I enjoy the NASA press briefings, it's great to hear key mission scientists talking full-on to their peers. The talks travel along at a nice fast thought provoking pace! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPbbhfGg0nc Admin: Moved post from 'First Drill' thread. |

Impressive study providing detailed analysis of different rock stratigraphy along the curiosity traverse from Bradbury to Murray formation. However there is no mention of rock compostion along the way. As far as I know, there had been a puzzle as the rock make up up to now had been largely basaltic in nature. Provided that these sediments had been theorised as being laid down by water, this basaltic composition seems somewhat of a contradiction since water should have altered the basaltic nature of the rock. Any thoughts?
