OK -- does anyone have a good theory for why we seem to be finding a nice, uniform population of what appear to be blueberries within the upper layers of the drifts? And possibly shot throughout the drift material?

I would think that, whatever they are, they would be far too massive to be blown into the drifts by the Martian winds.

I have my own theory, I just want to hear what y'all think first... biggrin.gif
