QUOTE I was trying to follow Doug's suggestion that we use images hosted elsewhere when possible. I think what Doug suggested was to link to an image if it is posted online somewhere else (like at Exploratorium) but it is OK to post modified or "personalized" images here. ---Bill -------------------- |

New MI's from Middle Over Overgaard. Doesn't anybody want to stitch them together?
(I would, but I don't know how  ) I want to see some genyoowine Festoons!

Possibly interesting sidenote concerning layered rock. Not sure if this would even be relevant, as I'm no geologist. Anyway:
It snowed pretty heavy yesterday and through the night, accompanied by strong wind. I'm noticing outside now that the wind blowing on the varying densities of snowfall has created some horizontal layers, much like you'd expect from a rock eroded by wind. This was created without the benefit of liquid water - just simple particle deposition over time. Is something similar at work on Mars' rocks? Just eons of accumulation of small particles? |

The very fine particles of Martian regolith do act together like a liquid, for what that is worth. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Feb 6 2006, 11:45 AM) Oh, for joy! It's even free , hee hee! I've already downloaded it. Now if I can just tear myself away from Home Plate long enough to install it and read the read.me,...maybe someday... I'll be able to work the magic like you guys do! Meanwhile, good old reliable hortonheardawho (we really need to recruit this guy to this forum. Though I suppose the other one would wither away if he left.) has put together the MI pan of Upper Overgaard. This is the direct link: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=96395486&size=l I hope I haven't violated any code in putting it here. Doug? I have to say, if there aren't "smiles" and "eyes" and "T"s here, then I will never be able to recognise them. I invite instruction by any skeptics. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Ahh, that's pretty, and he was even kind enough to rotate it 180 degrees so it would match the view in the other cameras. Now I have to do one for myself to see it in all it's "Imax" splendor. I would have done one by now, but my Autostitch demo expired and my firewall decided to start blocking zip downloads. (I had to take it aside and slap it a few times.)

This was created without the benefit of liquid water - just simple particle deposition over time. Is something similar at work on Mars' rocks? Just eons of accumulation of small particles? Temperature and humidity are other possible variables involved with the snow layering. The wetter the flakes, the stronger the minilayer should be when the wetness freezes and cements the flakes together. Mars's rocks come in many varieties with many origins. Snow would be an analogue for rocks built up by deposition of ash or dust. I think it's likely that salty dew has frozen dust together, in various times and places, allowing, for example, craters to become completely filled. That said, if the bedrock at Meridiani consolidated in acidic water, then that would not fit the analogue very well. Gusev on the other hand, might. |
