Hillary has one of these, too.

Billions and billions of billions and billions..................
Sort of a “what if” but still.
What if? As I understand it, Mars once had a molten, liquid core that cooled and solidified. Once that happened the Magnetosphere it had was lost. Once that was lost the atmosphere it protected was lost, boiled off to space. Once the atmosphere boiled off the water boiled off into space as well. How long would that take? Just a few years?
So, all that atmosphere goes into space. Physics being what it is these things would slowly accumulate into lower entropy regions it would seem to me. Is there a nearby gravity sink with a lower entropy, more hospitable home to these elements that had previously been on Mars? UH, yeah.
Could that explain why our sea levels rose 300 to 400 feet some 15,000 years or so ago? At least in part? Could it really have been a “Martian Rain” for 40 days and nights?
I am certain a whole lot of folks smarter than me will point out at least one hundred reasons it cannot be so. I want to hear every one of them. You see, Real Science is NEVER settled.
That sure looks sedimentary to me!
This would make a winning design for a monument to the Obama presidency.
Fish fossils? Oh wow! We gotta get there and find out.
Oh but isn’t that a crumbling building? Ant that what all the rock seers would say?
Have a look at the “Bumpy” looking rocks in the center fore ground, they almost look like coral

Dunno that I’d want a butte named after me, just the word itself cracks me up.
