We all know that the most common theories to explain the Viking wet chemistry results depend on a high peroxide content in the soils, both in the mid-latitudes (Chryse) and northern latitudes (Utopia).
As I understand it, Phoenix will be able to identify peroxides in the soil and directly test this keystone to the current interpretation of the Viking results. So... what happens if we find little to no peroxide content in these soils? Do we just assume that these soils are fundamentally different from the Viking soils? If so, what model predicts this? Or do we actually begin to re-evaluate the Viking results? What do y'all think? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
