Check those "raw images" from Sol 17 again please.

Take a closer look at the "clearer" microscopic-camera
raw images from the Spirit Rover; dated Sol-17.

If you look closely at the clearer microscopic images
of the Adirondack rock's surface, you can JUST make
out tiny (barely visible) segmented 'serpentine' patterns.
Probably close to half a millimeter in width, a centimeter or two
in length.

Where have we seen tiny (microscopic) segmented 'serpentine'
patterns in Martian rocks before?...
August 1996?...
That famous (infamous?) rock named AH84001?...
Coincidence?...or not?...

- From it's light color it's possible it is limestone. (Another reason why accurate color is important.) - Robert Clark - 1/27/2004 2:04:33 PM

        could Sodium bi-carbonate form solid flat surfaces like we are seeing? - Scott Evil - 1/27/2004 9:15:03 PM
        
        Sodium Carbonate can exist as lavas - Tony - 1/27/2004 9:40:44 PM
        
        It could have been precipitated out of a briney water solution - Scott Evil - 1/27/2004 11:43:56 PM
