Jon,
I currently work as an environmental consultant identifying and cleaning up contaminated properties. I worked at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for a time as a starving paleontologist and enjoy geology, biology, meteoritics, and planetary science as hobbies.
Horton, Wow! thanks for another excellent horticolor image!
I'm looking at your image and I see a few rocks that seem to have been simply laid down upon the landscape.....
Could some of these rocks be similar to Earth glacial erratics??? Glacial erratics are rocks that were held up by ice during ice ages on Earth and when the ice melted they were "laid down upon the landscape" below them.
If there are the equivalent of "glacial erratics" at this lattitude on Mars it would be very interesting...not too surprising though.
Could Wopmay and some of the other rocks suspisciously dotting the interior of Endurance be the Mars equivalent of glacial erratics???
