I think I have seen this discussed here at ATS before, but I can't get any of your links to work, so I am not sure. I need to see the images, perhaps that will ring a bell for me.

(Anyway, I am sure ArMaP or Internos will know if there is an excisting thread about the subject.)

hmm

the links have stopped working.

try again.

Hi, the last link worked fine, thank you. The image and what appears to be a wood log has been discussed in this thread:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

The thread is old, so there may be more recent ones, but I couldn't find any when I searched. Perhaps the image also has been posted somewhere in one of the longer threads about Mars images.

Definately looks like wood to me, however its possible that could have been photoshopped and dropped in there. You can see a seam at the bottom of the tile - not sure if thats from the imaging or photoshop though.

Yep... is it possible that some of those wacky NASA geeks have a little fun now and then? Or... would they get canned for doing so?

I think there was a thread about it this year, in this Space Exploration forum, and this photo has been posted in other threads.

I think it's just one of those slab-like rocks that are all over the place, only this rock is more narrow and somewhat turned over, showing the layers of which it is made.

I think I have posted some photos in other threads, I will look for them.

Edit:

It was this thread I was thinking of.
