That is tremendous! It looks like a Martian ninja sand frog! It even has a sword, how cool is that?

but then sedimenary rock can be made from the dead, say for instance the calcites that have been ouzing up through the cracks etc ,maybe they used to be all shells. mass gravyards that have been geologically pulverized, segregatted

maybe flippy was a lone survivor ,rover tripped it from its stasis, the last martian molluscs dies, rover laments,

we're left with a pearlescent scene of death , and a missing top/bottom part ,pics Nasa

The last limpet's lament:

Shiny steel, thunder and oil,
awake me from my ageless toil,
of sleep and dream, through aeons past,
to vacuum whence my essence boil.

a reply to: funbox

No, dust from a pearlscente material is not pearlscent, it's the structure of the material that makes it pearlescent.

For a sedimentary material to be pearlscent all the particles had to be of a specific size, so they could create an interference pattern that resulted in iridescence.

a reply to: ArMaP

if it was broken by the rover , maybe it was half of something that was contained .. maybe being contained protected the pearlesence and formations

you havnt seen this other photo have you .. the other half...

and your saying there's no possible circumstances in which this scenario could possibly be , like i said , maybe flippy was whole before it got crushed, if the internal formations were contained / protected from the atmos...

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, can you please rephrase it?

you havnt seen this other photo have you .. the other half...

What you assume is the other half? No, I haven't seen it.

a reply to: ArMaP

i doubt many have , but is described as having the look of Flippy, you've seen the area , have you seen anything remotly similar to flippy ? .. no ?, NASA has

then ArMaP came along one night,
disspelled it with a mighty blight,
for things like flippy cannot be
isnt it plain for all to see?

The "sister" of "Pinnacle Island" was called "Stuart Island" and it's not a secret, those that want to see it just have to look for it instead of waiting for someone else to do all the work.

For the lazy, here's a link.

a reply to: ArMaP

i can see why they arn't singing it from the rooftops



thats not called stuart, they've destroyed *infinitythinginsertnamehere*

Mr Shift gets dibbs on that

whats all the shining about too ? the inner portion thats's revealed, like something shiny's coating

a reply to: funbox

Not shiny, bright. You can see when shiny parts of the rover appear on the photos how those look different.

Do all gamma ray strikes show up as white? Because here's a black one from the same sequence of photos on Sol 854:

It's extremely unlikely that a gamma ray strike would hit the same pixel of the imager on three separate shots, no matter how much some people would like to think so.

a reply to: ArMaP

thats a variable from photo to photo, irespective , the same white coloured material is there .. what did they "open" anyway then? whats brown on the outside, red white and blue on the inside ? a rotten egg ? or is that just a description of the body of text that accompanies this poor quality picture

Opportunity drove over a rock and broke it open. One of the pieces, Pinnacle Island, was knocked downhill.

tells me everything i need to know..like a rock can be opened by a wheel

the lack of any further description is mere avoidance of it

I suppose a geode can be opened by a rigid wheel.

Maybe they drilled holes in the evicted Marsashell and they know we are too squeamish to show it?

As we discussed before there are other sea shell like objects near and in the area. Which belongs on mars?

a reply to: ArMaP

indeed , then why not say that ?

a reply to: Char-Lee

did they do tests on that part ?
