I think you should take some chemistry, Jonathan. You can't convert
sulfates to iron, microbial mats or stromatolites.


Sulfate reducing bacteria can, and does all the time on earth.
And that kind of bacteria needs just the conditions that exist
at meridiani. A low oxygen, salty environment. And on earth
most anomalous deposits of iron are considered the result
of such bacteria. The hematite deposits on Mars are
considered anomalous, and grey hematite is typically
the result of microbrial deposition. All circumstantial
of course, but if the circumstances pile up enough, that
starts becoming evidence.

They went to meridiani because of the grey hematite there.
Which typically needs lots of water to form. And they
havne't yet figured out why the iron is there. It's still
a mystery. The ...first time... we get a good look at another
planet and we have this gigantic unsolved mystery that
really can only be solved by microbes.

I'm just shocked more people aren't intrigued by this whole
thing. It's really such a wonderful mystery, what formed
the hematite and left them...only..in the spheres?
And did so in a very young environment. That entire
area was likely wet during the warmest part of the
last ice age on Mars, which might be only thousands
of years ago.

I don't care what anyone here says, I've read all the literature
coming from the Opportunity results. They have not figured
it out, and in fact have stopped talking about it. Since they
know they need better equipment or a sample return
to prove life.

It's in the interest of NASA to let the mystery remain as
it is and use that to help fund the next missions.

But I don't want to wait. Like a good crime drama, we should
be able to reduce the possible solutions to a few, and
be able to chose the best one. Not proof in the classical
sense, but it's good enough for me and for most
people.




And I think life starts pretty much the same way everywhere.
So it should be the same way on earth.
