My guess is itâs the migration of elements during the solidification process much like a eutectic forms in the iron/carbon alloy.

“Dubbed leopard spots because of their seemingly similarity to markings on famous Earth-bound predators,”
Proof the leopards beat us to Mars. They’re not as Earth bound as we thought.

Look for several democRATS to ask just how the leopards managed to travel to Mars. Also, did any of the leopards plant the American flag on Mars?
To: Brooklyn Attitude
The leaping ability of leopards is underestimated. You should notice that they are not finding donkey dung.

Some Windex will clean that right up. Next rover needs a scrub brush attachment.

It looks like mold to me. That would be incredible if it was.
