YES! I've been saying for a while that the entire Home Plate construct looks to me like remnants of a hot spring complex. Especially the way in which the layers within HP have been cemented and laid down -- it suggests (to me, anyway) deposition by mineral-rich water that has alternated back and forth from flowing to pooling.
I've known that several members of the Spirit team have favored the hot spring theory for some time. It's nice to see that they're hanging in there and finding evidence for their theory. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
