NASA gets images of sea shells on Mars

More sea shells have been imaged by Spirit on Sol 913 at the wintering grounds where NASA has parked the rover. The angled hillside provides best sunlight for the solar panels and allows the rover to continue operating well into its second year. These new images show some excellent specimens that are without a doubt some of the clearest sea shells yet imaged on Mars.

The black areas represent data dropouts

Does this mean a Mars outpost will have fresh sea food? If so I'm so there!
