Looks like a great place for liberals to colonize.

Interesting erosion patterns. I’m guessing this is a pretty small scale photo?

It’s obvious those spoons have been there for 3.2 billion years.

I believe so, which makes it odd the high winds haven't snapped them off yet.

When you see a spooning rock, take it.

That whole image looks like the skeleton of a boat hull that was at the bottom of a sea for a long time

Yeah, but gravity would do the job quicker, if the formation were large.
