Found on Mars: a limb with muscle and bone

you cant just give us a wall of links, we need more info otherwise this thread can not be taken seriously.

This entire collection of photos (from a photo hosting site) is the work, or findings (depending upon how you look at it), of [email protected] who is known for posing such doozes as Dinosaurs had mammalian red blood cells and simplest reason why evolution is falsified.

I'll think you'll find his 'findings' to be questionable in even the most open minded fashion as possible.

A little research upon your own links first would be of benefit for your future postings linliangtai.

if im reading the links correctly, its only someones belief that it is a fossilised limb
he's offering $10k to anyone who can prove him wrong
come on ats'ers. get on there and prove him wrong....
and dont forget who put you onto it

so that's where they buried

No it wasnt, they are just pictures of rocks!

This is complete hoax.

Nuts everyone these days?!

It was just a cross section of a limb, not a complete or longitudinal section of a limb.
You need to read the captions of the photos in order to understand. Or you may start with Earthly leg/muscle cross sections at bottom of the post.

its not a limb, its one persons belief that its a limb. just because that person posted it up on the internet and said its a fossilised limb, doesnt make it so.
dont believe everything you see online linliangtai

maybe its the missing leg from the russian alien???

Ha Ha HA , , , ,

A reference to the original photo would help to understand what we are looking at.

As it is, it looks like a print on the sand made by the RAT.

New edition of OP:
A fossilized limb, complete with muscle and bone, was found on Mars by Mars rover Spirit on sol 1863 and sol 1866.
First, let’s familiarize with the transverse section of an Earthly human leg:
Fig.1: An illustration of human leg transverse section (Note: click on all the figures to enlarge) www.wretch.cc...

Fig. 2: A micrograph of one muscle organ www.wretch.cc...

Fig. 3: Micrograph of muscle tissues (fascicles) and muscle cells (fibers), all in transverse section

Now here is the location of the Martian limb in transverse section: Fig.4: www.wretch.cc...

The transverse section of the limb are labelled for
its skin,muscles and bone at Fig.5: www.wretch.cc...

One of the muscles is labelled for its muscle tissues (fascicles) at Fig.6 www.wretch.cc...

The muscle in Fig. 6 is labelled for its muscle cells at Fig.7 www.wretch.cc...
Image source of Fig. 7 is marsrovers.nasa.gov... , but the source image has been expanded and cropped for the area of the labelled muscle.

Finally, the bone of the limb is identified in the following micrograph, because it shows osteon canals—the tell-tale signs of a compact bone:
Fig.8 www.wretch.cc...
The source of this figure is at marsrovers.nasa.gov... , but the original image has been expanded and cropped for the area with the osteon canals.

Once again it was not, it is just a rock. Repeating a lie does not make it true!

too bad that it seems that in our lifetime, we will never know if life really existed in some other ways on another planets.

Thanks for the source.

You do understand that the supposed fossilized limb is made up of sand that was dug by one of the rover's wheels, right?

How can a fossil be part of a pile of sand?

The source for images 6 and 7 show that the mark made by the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT), and you can see if being done (probably), on this photo.

Is this like one of those paintings where you have to squint to see the picture!?
Because as strange as it may sound I don't see anything unusual...

As an aside to this ridiculous thread, I work with many geologists - when that picture of what looked like a tool came up (and was discussed here on this site), I showed it to some of these geologists. I didn't even tell them what or where it was, I just asked if this in their opinion, was a piece of metal of some type.. a tool or something like that.. or was it just a rock. Every single one of them said it was a rock. There wasn't even any hesitation, there was no doubt in their minds what it was.

It's OK, linliangtai is a bit of a charlatan. They've posted self-authored "scientific articles" on CNN's open blog site and acted like they were legitimate news articles or scientific papers in other threads without the benefit of fact-checking or peer review. Scan through the other posts on the blog site they've linked and you'll get the idea behind their agenda.

They have a sample drill that just happens to leave a circular hole like that. The caption said "in microscopy" how did this person get that from a picture? This is a joke. You can't look at that and see muscle groups, a bone or anything resembling a leg cross section. It's the impression from the sample drill.

I could not help but come to think about a guy that used to post here years ago; He always posted pictures of stuff like trees, grass, rocks and so on taken during Naturetrips.
What he attempted to prove, was that these pics contained faires and other entities, wherefore he had literaly FILLED the photos with circles around each spot where he saw a fairy.

Does anybody remember him?
