Spike D, interesting looking thing. There are other similar ones around the square hole also. Here is one just below the square hole - looks like a complete little body: The head is marked here: Two other heads similar to the one you marked are at the upper right of the square hole: I know we are really straining the limits of resolution, but still, I find these tiny things interesting.

Thanks MR, ya know at one time I wondered if the decomposition (maybe i should call it rate of decay) process was different on Mars due to the frigid climate as well as the other differences between our atmospheres. I know that the first image I have below is most likey a rock. But it looks like a bullfrog soooo much that I often questioned it. My second photo shows what looks like a snarly lizard type head. Another one, whereas based on my initial thought of what it looks like to me and sometype of decomposing process. Seeing your pic above...nice btw :)....as well as other ones where it "looks likes" sometype of body or anaimal (my apologies, none of my own to offer as examples/nor anyone elses where i can immeditaley recall seeing them) has me thinking this way once again. I referred to it a calcifying for lack of better term. Also, think about how some mummies (Native American) have been found undisturbed throughout the desert/mountain regions. Tibetans as well(or was it buddhists?)have a method of preserving their bodies through ointments,plants and allowing to sit in the cool dry air. Below those two, is one I dubbed gooseneck - cuz thats what it lookslike. I included it just because it usually accompanies the other two when I post it. And thanks for that link MR, I will post the source id's for these a bit later - my cp is painfully slow today.... __________________________________________________ therdd, my apologies but I'm not sure what you're looking for (profile)? Were you lookin for the source or .....? let me know and i'll see what i can do. peace

Spike D, sometimes I think of Mars as a giant freeze-dryer. We have the freezing cold weather that nearly stops all bacterial action. We have a thin almost vaccuum like atmosphere with little to no oxygen, only a bit of carbon dioxide which helps to preserve, and prevents oxidative decay. On top of that we have constant radiation bombarding the surface, killing any bacteria that are exposed. The only change in a piece of flesh lying on the surface of Mars would be from the sublimation process - as it slowly dries out, giving up its H2O to the atmosphere. Slowly, the lost minerals would be replaced by the dust in the Martian atmosphere - fossilizing even soft tissues by sublimation. After eons of freeze drying, what would a piece of flesh look like? Maybe a rotten rock that matches the chemical content of Martian soil, and easily crumbles to dust. I've seen plenty of rotten rocks on Mars - so maybe...

This little human shape reminds me of the little cow in the rock:
