Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

Or it could be a fossilized spine or tail. I have been looking at really old fossils and I am stunned at how many objects we are seeing that are so like them.

That's funny, because I have seen only a handful of rocks that really look like fossils.

Edit: I forgot to add that, many years ago, I spent some time looking for fossils on a construction site in the middle of Almada, where I live. That's how I got a Charcarodon Megalodon tooth.

Really I feel just the opposite. It has always been an interest of mine. I studied Geology and Anthropology in college. We have a friend who is serious enough about the subject that many of his great finds have been written up in pro journals, unfortunately he is seriously ill so I can't get any imput from him.

The only problem is that the "spoke object"

We have seen many spoked shapes.

There are many forms of sea life that whole or part look like spoke shapes also. Clearly we can't look for an exact match this is not the same planet, but similarities would make sense.

im guessing your meaning this

I think size also should not be taken into account as some things have grown smaller or larger throughout time even on earth.

Things like this look familiar

I found them , your right, tiny things , what type of errorsion is going on there?

funBox

Ah, yes, very good. That's one for the geologists among us (none, the one ATS has hasn't come to this thread) to explore. And as a catch-all thread, this is a good place to "find them first" and let the pickin'at the bones begin.

there are many types of fossil tube worms...could be.

some great pics to compare with Char-lee , liked the clam ones so familiar

was digging about sol542 fronthaz has something else been digging about too ? this mound/rock has a softness too it with a darker shadow on top ( in direct sunlight) what could cause that diffusement of light on a rock? its surface must be loose or extreamly light absorbent.. see pic

Giant clam fossils look like a lot of objects we have seen.

No.

Here's a little one. A piece of some kind of spokey ring thing.

Oh, and what else would you expect to find in a river?

a sealion(honks like a seal) thats made my day thanks

Fishies can come in "flat"
AUSTRALIA'S biggest fish fossil has been discovered on the ancient inland sea of northwest Queensland.

No.

We do have very similar looking old clams...my comparison clam may not be identical but to me the many of these similar looking things I have seen look like life forms.

The one with the thing sticking out, that may not be a part of the clam, may be a coral.

Not sure what to make of this.
Here is the link to NASA pic:

FYI: Count v4 lines over from the left of the pic and zoom in, you will see it too!

And of course the similarity of the nasa jelly donut. And a fossil earth bivalve

I don't think they are that similar, only the general shape.

Strange. Looks all wrong.

Most of the fossils we (me, my sister and a friend) found were from several types of clams (or whatever those bivalves are called), none looked like what we see on Mars.

Well we have some near exact matches (even red inside) if a person wanted to be precise instead of getting a quick example.

The shape and material from which the rock is made. And that side is not in direct sunlight, only a small part (obviously the brighter one).

Char-Lee
Well we have some near exact matches (even red inside) if a person wanted to be precise instead of getting a quick example.

Well, I don't remember seeing one that matches the whole shape (the shape as seen from above and the three dimensional shape, with that highly concave shape).

My experience with archeological/paleontological examples is that some of them look exactly like something (a fish or a leaf, or whatever), but many of them don't look like much of anything until an expert points out what they are. Especially broken pieces of something. A fossilized broken bone looks a lot like a rock, which is basically what it is. That's why I prefer to look for something more obvious and something that would logically and reasonably be found in that area, if it was alive and evolved, etc. Sponges, reeds, small bivalves or molluscs. Things that could utilize the oxygen in the water.
