Do me a favour, indeed do us all a favour, and enroll in geology classes. Anything will do, but for dog's sake stop asserting that you can identify rocks, whether on Earth or Mars.
For the last doggam time, these are NOT pillows. They are fractured and partially weathered basalts.
Everything weathers to roundish lumps, whether on Earth or Mars. It's the way of things. No wild armwaving about different conditions on Mars will change this.
I agree that we haven't seen much in the way of unfractured unweathered surfaces at Gusev. Everything there is old and smashed up. But as a professional geologist with nearly 30 years experience of looking at rocks for a living, I can instantly see that these are NOT pillow basalts.
Now let's let this thread die a natural death while you go off and catch up on at least 5 years of study on rocks...
