Worm On Mars

[ArMaP]

im sure you'll find them , you know how fast that thread went sometimes, most of the anomalies never got talked about much because of the rate of finds, so you might have to go back a bit..

I found it, two months before that page. In my post I said "I forgot to say that the trail is not a trail, as you can see that part of it is in front of the rock. Areas like those, looking like "rivers" of dust are very common on Mars, they usually start between two rocks, the wind probably flows between the rocks and deposits the dust in those areas. That is also common on Earth, even on the beaches, I have seen that many times on windy days.".

but now you think landslide... don't you want to know what you said before?

My landslide post was an answer to Norval's post, not yours.

ive certainly referred to your opinions on the rock and markings on that very page ive linked .. hardly unlikely im going to misquote you in mid thread .. it wouldn't be worth it

You only have to look at the quote before this one to see how easy it is for you to mix things.

But.....if the 'wormcast' is made of crystalline material yet formed into a long roundish shape, how could it exist as we see it?  I would think such a thing would be extremely fragile and easily degraded into dust by whatever wind/water/temperature/ radiation eroded the general scene.  A single crystal, yes ,but that's not the shape here.

Sorry for not being clearer about what I meant, I was thinking about something like what we can see in the photo below, one of my fossils.



If you look closely you can see that the centre is made from small crystals, it almost looks like cemented sand. If that material entered the shell and created this fossil, I am thinking that something like this could have happened to create that rock on Mars.

As for the shape of the crack, I don't see any problem with it happening on an area of cracked clay, that usually cracks in different levels, when the drying is not uniform.

so then why do we not see  perturbation of the sand , if its sand or whatever elemental compound were looking at. would it not be subject to wind occlusion , creating a dimple n its otherwise smooth crest..

they don't have switch on switch of physics there do they ?

We keep saying we don't see any perturbation of the sand, but we can see that the sand appears darker next to the rock.

The rocks is touching the dune's crest (or vice-versa), no space for a dimple.

is it though ? why do we not see sand accumulations around the point of contact ? or any disturbance whatsoever

You don't see the darker sand near the rock?

I cannot confirm the rock of which you speak

Your fossils?  A Martian 'wormcast made by life?

Sounds good to me.

so.. probably not a carbon based lifeform then.. which might mean its still alive and curiosity caught it in the acto f dunette surfing.

wouldn't be the first potential extremophile to arise from the sands

I have been talking about a rock all the time, you only noticed it now?

I'd like to have a Martian fossil of a worm-like creature, but no, all my fossils are from Earth, at least that's where I found them.

you mean the thing that giving birth to wormy thing, that mildly looks like a head and maybe partially buried.?.. do you have evidence that this  thing is intercontinuous with wormy thing .. wormy thing maybe a lecherous little parasite that enjoys feeding on head shaped like things

you mean the thing that giving birth to wormy thing, that mildly looks like a head and maybe partially buried.?

I mean the whole object you call "wormy thing", from the bottom to the top.

do you have evidence that this  thing is intercontinuous with wormy thing

Evidence, no, but it looks so to me.

can you be more precise , I think its mildly segmented right up to the put where it meets head shaped thing, and smooth and curvy past midpoint off the assumed dunette , right up to its tip

any closer shots yet ?

I think it's the whole area marked in red in the image below.

I don't think so.
