Centering the pics on the screen really helps me 'phase' my vision to see the 3d image on my own. Just FYI

Looks like Turkey tracks to me...

How could anyone not find this fascinating? I am in love with American ingenuity and space exploration. And I am so glad we have a President who understands the importance of keeping an active program of space exploration going forward-it is a vision that is important on every level.

The spherule looks organic like a flower bud. Add water.

Is it possible to see without the stereo view? . . . Because I think I can see it. I'm just not used to seeing that kind of symmetry in nature except on living things.
To: LibWhacker
Those pics look just like the video from my last Colonoscopy, complete with the polyp the doc nipped...

Not sure what that means, the structure looks like the structure of a star saphire in some ways.
This is not my area or expertise.
I defer to the dirt guys.

It reminds me of an acorn or duck droppings.

NOTICE FURTHER that from tip of the "peach" there are SIX spokes (longitudinal lines) with the tip of the sherule as the axis. That's a Star of David! It's just another conspiracy by them dang Joos...

I've seen a dozen spherules with slight indentations on their surfaces. There are tubular structures in the matrix that seem to fit against spherules that are still attached to the matrix.

It's organic. No scientific method needed. "Rocks" don't look like sea urchins [minus the spines]. I especially like the one with the "bug" shape in the earlier thread with the opaque antennae. And something has been excavating the crevices. I still say Mars was like earth a long time ago.

I'm still not sure it is organic, I figured it looked grown, but then you can grow crystals (usually requires water though...).
However, this picture might just be the strangest one I have seen, with the least "occam-able" explanations to it..

Too bad the rovers don't have super sensitive microphones on them to listen to the wind, or to listen to the rocks! [rock eating termites?] :))))

you can view them cross eyed and the three d image shows up in the center(like those mirage dot hidden picture deals from the 80's and early ninties) The crab thing and the pea show up as depressions!
To: nuconvert
When seen in three d the sperical this looks like a perfectly drilled depression like the explorer has been using its sampling drill to test the rock!
