its a term taken from horror, used to describe the removal of a corpse with acid , in a bath...

I know, like in the House on Haunted Hill.

a ground sodden with acid.

Where's the acid?

Where's the acid?

pH o-5.9 =.acid environment  pH5.9-6.4 = neutral environment pH 6.4 -14 =alkali environment

have they tested the soil/sand in gale creator.. or does the rover not have a testing kit ?

Based on what is written here, it looks like they made some tests, as expected.

But it sounds like there may be some confusion about today's acidity and a past acidity, as nobody (as far as I could see) is talking about present day conditions similar to sulphuric acid, they are talking about the past and the acidity of Mars waters, that, apparently (and like on Earth) was different in different places.

[A51Watcher]

That's funny, because I don't remember seeing any reference to that.
...
It looks like the hypothetical existence of sulphuric acid in the past is the chosen way of explaining the presence of sulphates on today's Mars.

Umm yeah, what he said.

Today I saw a photo that reminded me of the "pyramids". Curiously, it was a photo of a lake, lake Mead, posted on another thread here on Pegasus.



The area close to the water's edge and those small islands reminds me of the area at the base of Mount Sharp.

interesting comparison , they do look and have the same variable distribution, although I can see that earths strata seem to be a little more organised in consistency than Mars's hap hazard inconsistent streaks of material *strata*

these blocks certainly don't look like they're carved via water, such smooth edges , pixilation is going overtime too

the rover appears to be causing a bit of a land slide , it appears like vsrying degrees of sublimation has created interesting dark/lighter drying patches *best seen on original*

Hey funbox, if you have an interest in "black goo".............I have found places on Mars that are huge areas of what may be some sort of black goo! Have you ever had any experience with septic systems, when they over load and the waste comes to the top of the ground?? Well, that is just what the black surface spots on Mars look like to me!

I will post here a screenshot of one of them, but this is no small area of "goo". This screenshot is one from a Mars Orbiter camera, and it covers a wide surface area!

If I can find the original link, I will post it too.

What do you think?

im watching the whole black goo thing atm , that picture I posted on the other thread was from the first video , so very familiar , and not just on mars .. hmm,  maybe one of jupiters moon also displayed such septic like eruption to which you liken

ill have a butchers

That appears to be the type of features seen close to the south pole, but I don't remember seeing this particular area.

I thought I had actually posted this here in the past, but can't find it. No, I know about where it is on Mars, and I don't think it i near either of the poles. But, there is more than one of these black features on the surface of Mars, so I do guess one/some could also be near the poles.

My thought has been, that if humanoids were living under the ground, we likely could assume that they would have an extreme necessity for disposing of waste. And one possibly way to get rid of it is to pump it to the surface!

I will now look for this black spot, and will post the pic link when found!

whilst looking for the pictures I came across this one



from http://nineplanets.org/news/2014/08/page/2/

strange how they repeat in such an identical way.. like someone was lifting and depositing it just infront of the last imprint ..so on and so forth

reminds me of the moon again
