We're starting to get MI's in from the "scratch and sniff" stop on the Etched Terrain on the way to Erebus:

The spherules also seem to be smaller than those at Endurance and Eagle. There also seems to be greater variation in size to the spherules. Maybe the depositional environment here was not as stable as at Eagle and Endurance, with more variables being thrown into the spherule-making equation?

Maybe the depositional environment here was not as stable as at Eagle and Endurance, with more variables being thrown into the spherule-making equation?  My sense, and it only a sense, is that there may also be a larger quanitity of the concretions in the matrix than would have been expected earlier in the mission. |
