Is this what you are talking about?

Now that we have the video crises solved
Great find thanks

But I'm like the scientist who says we dont know yet if the worm is real.

Although it does look like they may have found something and this one in my opinion does not "look like rocks"

It does not look like a fossil to me (and I have said it every time this appears, so sorry for those that have read it all the times ).

Also, it is very unlikely that there was only one fossil in this place, fossils usually can be found in an area, in all places of that area, because that area had the right conditions for the creation of the fossils.

PS: I am not a geologist, just someone who collected fossils for some time from a place where we found several hundreds from which we choose several dozens from which our mother convinced us to throw away more than half. I still have some.

Its the first impression and the contrast with the surroundings that strike me about the image. Watch the video it seems they regret not being able to study the area further. It is just speculation but hey interesting none the less.

But who really knows if they searched the area further? if this was something that fell through the cracks and others were found I don't think that the public would have been told, just a guess though

Have you forgiven her for it?

This is in my opinion one of the more promising images of so called life forms on mars and I think it deserves more scrutiny than some of the other images Ive seen. The other thread that this was mentioned was ridiculed to death. Any image analysis freaks out there want to take another look?

I posted the "old" image to show the anomaly in context. I dont want to split hairs but again no real explanation for the formation has been given.

Its pasta , Ridicule it and it goes away , if it was formed by say volcanic activity then why is there no repetition of the pattern anywhere in the image?

If you watch the video a NASA representative says that it is very compelling and was intrigued enough to give an interview about it.

Watch the video again. Has any one seen a natural formation like this while hunting for fossils and found it to be a natural geological formation?
