Interesting article on sulfate reducing bacteria under martian conditions:

Yes, a micrograph would be great. One that shows the junction between sphere and stalk.
Well I doubt that NASA will do it, but I keep my fingers crossed.
NASA doesn't belive in vulcanic or meteor origin anymore.
They think they found concretions.
(Whatever that means for the fossil hypothesis, which they didn't mention jet)
They do weather, just a lot slower than the rock matrix. there are some heavily weathered examples on the floor of the crater - obviously the rock they weathered out of is long gone....
Well O.K. But why didn't the stems weather as fast as the outcrop, too, if they are made up by the same outcrop material as the stones ? Expecially in this case (It's a really long stem)
Look at new Opportunity Pancam image:

Middle-Left you can see:
A Martian Marble sitting on a "Stem".
It's VERY clear by the shadow the thing is casting.
WOW !
"Last Change" obsevation to come up at Opportunity
Interesting name, isn't it ?

Question:
Does anybody know if it would be possilbe to find water (actual water/ice) hints by comparing the individula PANCAM filter images ?
Is anything on board of the Rovers (MINITES?) that could detect actual water/ice on/under the surface directly ?
I can see it, too.
However, it's hard to tell which marks are made by the RAT and which not.
I seem to see indication of tubular structures inside the newer RAT images.
But again...it's hard to tell..
How about crosslinking all Mars discussions ?

Hi,
If you look at
[http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/ … 33M2M1.JPG]http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery....2M1.JPG
you will notice one spherule (under the double one) that shows two intersections. (It's not longer round due to this intersections).
If I look closely I see:
1. Some kind of a core
2. Some kind of fine veins between the core and the outer sections
3. Some kind of "cellular structure"
4. Inner core is brighter than outer rim
It looks very much similar to a plant intersection to me.
Is this just wishful thinking ? Are my eyes playing tricks to me ?
Anybody else with the same impressions ?
