    fossils Mars
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the possibility of finding fossils on Mars, with one participant expressing a strong belief in the case presented on a specific website. However, skepticism is prevalent, emphasizing that no definitive fossils have been discovered on Mars, only rocks. The conversation highlights the need for careful scrutiny of any claims regarding extraterrestrial life, noting that while there are ongoing investigations, many questions remain unanswered. Participants reference historical controversies surrounding past Mars missions and the slow pace of scientific validation. There is a lighthearted tone as some participants joke about the nature of their observations, but the overall sentiment leans towards caution regarding claims of fossil evidence. The need for credible NASA reports on Mars data analysis is also mentioned, indicating a desire for authoritative updates on the subject.

This person has come up with a very good case for fossils on mars, well at least it's got me convinced. What do you think?

There is much rumor these days, but if and when NASA is sure that life did or does exist on Mars, I have no doubt that we will all hear about it. Any and all evidence needs to be scrutinized very carefully by many scientists before anyone can be sure. So, my take is that any claims of "proof" are premature at best.
 
The only thing compelling on the site was this:
There can be NO QUESTION that my findings were made public long before NASA or JPL findings.
Seems this guy just wants his name out there in case NASA happens to find anything.

No, no fossils were found on Mars. Lotta rocks though.

Has all of the data been completely scrutnized? Though I am way behind on the news these days, the last that I heard, we have more questions than answers thus far. Do you have a NASA link for this?

I saw a cloud once that looked like a kind of sea urchin/trilobite kind of thingy.
 
Shucks, all the clouds around here just look like cauliflower or brains.
 
Yeah, but I'm thinkin' that rock in that pichur definately looked like an authentic raw oyster. Spooky.
 
Alright, I think you two need your Riddlin dosage increased. :biggrin:

Not to defend this particular report, keep in mind that controversy still exists over results from the Mariner mission from the 70's, I think it was, and then over the Mars rock that was found in the Antarctic. I hardly think the results from these missions which are still ongoing, could be complete.

Certainly not - that'll take years. Maybe they will eventually find some, but what I said was they haven't found any...[yet]. :wink:

Fair enough. I would think this will keep the planetary people busy for the next lifetime or so.

Anyone care to venture a guess on how many PhDs will come from all of this? :surprise:

Ok so maybe the trilobites are dubious, but I go with the sea urchin thing, but I have to admit they don't look so convincing anymore. Is there some kind of periodical NASA report that comes out on their latest analysis of Mars data?
