Wed, 7 Aug 96 07:29:38 -0700Good Morning America just did a report on the Martian microbe and apparently
the main evidence for Martian genesis is that the gasses trapped inside the
rock are identical to those found in the Martian atmosphere. The rock
apparently has come carbonates in it (implying the presence of water) and
some iron formations that are apparently identical to microbial excretia
found in rocks on the earth. In addition they have found structures that
look like microbial trace fossils and hydrocarbons consistent with the
existence of life. I am anxious to see a full report of the evidence.
