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.

I feel like Shaka looks in that stretched-baseline portrait up there... What the... zarking fardwarks is going on here? The dip (if that's the right word?) doesn't so much gradually tilt, as be jumbled in many different directions:
http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/...DSP2381L2M1.JPG and especially here: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/...DSP2381L2M1.JPG No doubt it's something completely everyday and commonplace for people who live near interesting exposed geology; however, we're mainly on mud down here I wonder if these angles mean the original rocks have been violently disrupted after being laid down - ie,. it's not just cross-bedding caused by the original depositional process. Are these faults (assuming they /are/ faults) evidence of an impact *after* the hypothetical impact that may have formed the crater within which the ashy rocks were orginally laid down, causing the shallow HP bowl? -------------------- --
