Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time. ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.

Latest pics are in, what do you make of this from the MI:

It looks that the grains from the rock were cemented by some sulfate process. I am not geologist but the concretions seems to be of sand grain.. Rodolfo |

Totally different from the smooth-lumpy stuff at the base of the section. This rock is a piece of laminated float that presumably fell from the upper zone. Sandy for sure. Can't wait to see the MIs of the brushed circle. This story is getting more complex and interesting. Does anyone know from the "little birds" whether the sulfate has been confirmed by spectrometry? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
