"I'm not a geologist, but this rock looks the strangest of the bunch to me.
I been in three different deserts and never seen anything similar."

Thanks for the comment. I've only the most rudimentary knowledge of geology, even though
I did like "cool" rocks when I was growing up...ones that lit up under UV light or
the occassional old arrowhead.
Naively, I can see how the somewhat rounded shape of the rock might be interesting...
like smoothed by the flow of water.
And my equally-naive wonder is if millions of years of being blasted by
wind-storms of small grains of other rock-material hasn't just worn it down like
being hit with millions of random strikes with the functional equivalent of emery-cloth.

While I'm sure the pictures/rocks are pure joy for geologists/space scientists...
the idea that we can land, control and receive information at these distances (in such an
environment) amps me up...knowing this makes pulling off a similar mission at
(oh, say) a remote Al-Quida training facility on Earth appear a doable mission.

That explanation would be great! That means a large mass of flowing water on the surface. Too cool.

What the weirdo who operates the site claims is that these rocks can not be formed naturally. The reason: Their symmetry. He states that rocks are never symmetrical and alot of the rocks are boxed formed and symmetrical. I was hoping your call for a rock expert would have been heeded.
