Gusev layered rocks and outcrops summary

[aldo12xu]

I just posted a summary of the Spirit rover findings concerning the layered volcanic rocks and outcrops at Columbia Hills. I went through a few abstracts and press releases and my write-up basically paints a broad picture of what we know so far. I've also compiled some interesting images and mosaics that weren't widely distributed.<br /><br />Have a look and I hope you find it useful. Just click on the "Layered Volcanics" link on my homepage.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Aldo.<br /><br />

You find a piece of pillow lava in a pan-cam image before anyone else sees it and you'll win the brass ring!<br /><br />Excellent website.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

That second to last image in the Images of Mars Part 2 thread looks like snow, ice, or frost; however, the pic is black and white, so it is just rocks, Jatslo bets.

Yeah, lighting can play weird tricks in black & white photos, even more enhanced when the black & white photos are colourized:<br /><br />http://www.marsgeo.com/Stereo/Spirit/s306MachuP2_LRxe.jpg

Nice job and technical report on your website. A very interesting read. Please keep developing it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><em><font color="#0000ff">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</font></em> </div><div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><font color="#0000ff"><em>I really, really, really miss the "first unread post" function.</em></font> </div> </div>
