On a related note... If you look at the image at
Some people I have shown this to agree that it might be a fossil, others are skeptical.
Can anyone think of a way to enhance the image to better discern its origin?
Could NASA be convinced to send Spirit back for a close-up?

I increased the resolution and looked at them more closely. Sorry to disappoint you, but they are just angular rocks. No fossils evident there.
Don't beleive him the Martian Crabs have taken him over:
Well it's a moot point:- Quote:- "Dust adhesion/cohesion, atmospheric transport and electrical storms on Mars may all be aspects of the same phenomena: the electrical activity of the suspended dust. Investigations are underway in the Mars simulation laboratory, which can quantify this electrification with the use of Mars analogue dust. " Endquote.
So what we are saying is that alien robots are soaping our fountains?
Not to mention the obvious give away, that every crop circle photo shows the circle intersects some path or hedgerow leading to the edge of the field. So the perps can get in and out without leaving tracks.

a fossil of what?

You can't really tell, because of that stand of trees in the way.
(ROTFL. Sorry. I usually do better at self control.)

Check out this colorized shot where the spheres appear blue (handy for spotting them). They are evidently weathering out of the outcrop rocks, in this case "Snout." Several can be seen jutting out of the sides of the rock.

Most fountain soapinga are done by aliens.
---------------------- I've seen the assertion that crop circles are old, but not EVER supported by evidence, in fact, what were once CALLED "crop circles" in prior centuries bear no resemblance to the current phenomenon, and look like simple dustdevil or incipient tornadic resultants.
I have also read now that the assertion that crop circles are old is nothing but a blatant lie by crop circle supporters that can be dated from a specific news conference, and was never alleged in any news or literature prior to its contemporarily recent date.

Many of you have now had a chance to see the tiny spheres in the soil and in the rock outcrops in photos taken by the Mars Opportunity rover. I have found some interesting suggestions for what these spheres may be in the following link (all of you kooks out there, please note that most, if not all of these suggestions are tongue and cheek, and are meant for your enjoyment, not for serious discussion):
Hi George
How do you get linked to such a vivid discussion? I read all the posts and am left more perplexed than ever. The spherolitic lappili seems intriguing ... exept that it involves water Now, as with the cohesive soil, it would be nice to get some follow-up info from NASA. I lost the link to the Australian geologist who worked on mass-movements/slides of sediments with a clathrat/CO2-ice component - but CO2 hail may not be far off either. .. If the Mars' atmosphere just vanishes at the poles as CO2 ice/snow ....... There is no fluid fase of CO2 at the surface, but I keep turning back to ground-fluid movements as a participant in aggregating the solid 'sedimentary' outcrop - the internal temperature may be high enough to make a fluid fase of water, but I'm not sure if the pressure would be high enough to create a fluid CO2 fase. Plenty of room for speculation ....

Google is my friend.
Damn teenage aliens. Go get drunk and play tricks on your own planet, jerks!

may be their way of fun... or exploring...
