Better turbidite than coprolite, I suppose.

It's really exciting though isn't it, even though we know in the bit of our brain which tells us so that it really isn't true. After all, who knows, it could be true (that's from the bit of the brain that puts up an argument)'

[sandyRoe]

I agree, Starone. We know it's probably not a bone but we'd like it to be.

Mud deposit in cracks between boulders dries out, hey presto. Why would martians have thighs anyway?

[sandyRoe]

I've always imagined aliens to be humanoid in shape. Then they'd have thighs.

[jomifl]

Imagine harder Sandy, they probably weren't created in god's image. :o)

[jomifl]

Fish don't have thighs..

[carrust]

Have a trip to Norfolk if you want to know what aliens look like:-D

[Gromit]

There is plenty of dust.

Perhaps the EU Directive on Vacuum Cleans came in earlier there.

I like to think of them looking like this. Though she's a fetching shade of blue rather than the traditional green.

Hardly a camouflage colour for Mars Sandy, she would show up like a nudist in a nunnery.

[sandyRoe]

Indeed. For the Red Planet she'd need a fake bake to turn her a fetching shade of orange.

[jomifl]

Sandy, perhaps blue people turn green when suntanned.

[I_Hate_Infinity]

Don't think so on this occasion. It could easily be sedimentary rock shaped by collision and weathered by wind and dust. Nice pic thou!

[ToraToraTora]

looks like a rock to me, there may have once been some sort of microbial life on Mars but not a diplodicus!

[Peter Pedant]

definitely an alian femur
cant be anything else

[sandyRoe]

^ That's what I was thinking. Sometimes we can't see the wood for the trees.

[jomifl]

Alians don't have femurs.
