Pending a response from Stu on posting some closeups of the animated GIF 'movie he has on his site, I have to show a few of these to you all, as this is the 'hot' news item at work, as well as very beautiful color work by himself.
The 'rolling rock' does indeed match the basic shaping of the 'cantilever tip' I was posting enlarged a couple pages earlier in this topic list. The match means this is statistically impossible to present as a question of the earlier item being a Earth traveller as I had thought. These must be the same class of item, and Martian at source.
These progress from the enlarged colorized and tone mapped graphics, rotated to vertical growth alignment, to the less altered and smaller view of the cropped collection of particles nearby the 'rolling particle'.

Can a stem like this be a non-life item? We have some talking to do about the prospects for viral and organic influence on crystalline growths.
Stu has a beautiful set of images at the site, and these newer color images by others here should complement the mix of closeups that can be shown.
