Yes, I have it up now. They're just showing general images of Mars.

I don't see how they can not spend time on some of the fossil images that we've seen. I wouldn't wish to be in their place with the job of discounting these.

I'm going to say they will acknowledge these. I'm sure they will use as many weasel words as needed however - LOL.

Ancients thought that fossilzed 'ammonites' (snail-like squids)
were 'petrified' snakes, and carved 'heads on them.

A geologist here says they do not look like fossils. Scratch and Sniff are purely geology robots, unequipped to do organic testing. The ESA bot that crashed was equipped with some organic instruments. Sounds like later bots will have instruments more appropriate to analyze brine minerals.
