Wow, Oppy's next stop ... ohmy.gif

For instance, it has seen fluid flow features in Victoria Crater just south of the equator, where NASA's Opportunity rover is trudging along the rim. The fractures appear to be surrounded by cemented rock on the eastern crater rim and floor.

One of NASA's goals for Opportunity is to get to that side of the crater. If it is able to get close enough, Opportunity might provide some microscopic observations of the rock to confirm whether the rock has been cemented together by fluid.
