Opportunity "worm" at Spirit site?

[Paul Morris]

Take a look at the MI image for Spirit at:

Near the 1/3 point of the right-hand edge of the image,
there is a feature that looks quite similar to the
worm-like feature seen in a previous MI image
at the Opportunity site. Some images of the latter
can be seen at:

Notice the bulbous "head" that contains a black spot
in the image at both sites.

However, the Spirit feature looks a lot less "fresh"
than the one at the Opportunity site.

Take a look at the MI images ...

I'm not too sure about 'worms', but it's fairly obvious by now to anyone following the
MIs closely, that there was at one time, perhaps currently, but certainly in the not
too distant past, a significant amount of unusual and highly evolved extremophile
microbioloby going on in these sediments.

NASA, and the scientists in their employ, are just too damn scared to admit it.

After all, we know the Earth is only 6000 years old.

I think these are due to the spheres being harder than
the chert they're embedded in. At endurance you see
the spheres 'on a stick' all the time due to erosion.


What is interesting about these features at endurance
is that the erosion appears to be eminating from the
very center of the crater.

Hi. Interesting post. I found a lot of martian "worms" myself. I'd be
interested to know what you think of them.

They can be found here:
