rlb2: About your picture 8-14-4-2P145360550EFF8500P2 ....Is that a very long "snout" sticking out to the right from the boulder located on the upper left? I know this all is most like shadows and photo artifacts, but it does look like an interesting rock formation. Maybe it isn't a chance alignment of shadows - I hope we get a closer shot of that picture! A couple of other possible (more likely unusual shadows) "snouts" are also circled. <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>

Am I the only one that thinks the new outcrop at Spirit's site sort of looks like pillow lava?

 

[jitte]

I found this image a couple years ago and the rock collection, notice I didn't say structure, just over half way down on the right hand side caught my eye. Does anybody else think it looks like a face with pointed ears? It's not as nice as the others in this thread, and I'm not saying it's another "Face On Mars", but I wanted to share it.

<font color="orange">....Is that a very long "snout" sticking out to the right from the boulder located on the <br />upper left?<font color="white"><br /><br />Lots of snouts in this area, its like the snooty Martians didn't know where to go when the <br />sky started falling. Here is some more snouts, not as big as the ones in your image but<br /> reminds me of past cartoon and TV legends. <br /><br /><font color="orange"> jaredgalen - A lot of peaople are still in bed over there across the pond aren't they......I wish I was in bed.<font color="white"><br /><br />Yes as compared to your time, even on the East Coast, except in Florida - some of there<br /> beds got blown away by Charley and probably is just now landing in OZ. <br /><br /></font></font></font></font> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

*LOL* Lassie!

 

[silylene old]

Lassie looks more like a walrus. Joking aside, "Lassie"+ "Alf" (the look like originally a split rock) is an unusually shaped rock. It looks extruded, maybe some sort of hardened lava. <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>

They found igneous rock? I musta been sleepin. I know they've found basalt, and sedimentary. One of the recent RAT'd surfaces *looks* igneous. Hmmm... was Mazatzal igneous?

Here is a false color close-up of Lassie and friends. <br /><br />Sure makes you hungry don't it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Before I found Lassie I thought I found skeleton remains of Timmy’s grandpa and <br />Lassie's barnyard buddies,all gasping for air . <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

<i>It looks like rocks. Really, this is absurd. There are more important scientific & geological conclusions to be drawn from the study of these photos than to compare them to ficititious things. <br /></i><br /><br />NASA/JPL assigns fanciful absurd names to rocks all the time. It started with the Pathfinder misson. The absurd naming practice has some value, as opposed to calling every rock studied "the rock over there", "the rock to the right of that rock", "he little rock next to the big rock", etc.<br /><br />Need I mention that biologists have now assign absurd names to every new gene they find? That physicists talk about "charm" "strangeness" "p-branes" and "quarks" with "flavors". To name a rock "Lassie" is just funny and fanciful. <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>
