With the announcement of finding conglomerate on Mars, I have to point out that I noticed an image a couple of weeks ago that had rounded pebbles that could only have been abraded in a flowing water environment. Here is a close up of the rounded rocks in that image:
This image was taken on 2012-09-08 23:35:20 UTC, SOL 33, subframe data, mastcam right. I am confused why they are announcing that the image they published today is the first time they've seen these features on Mars, when clearly they had the evidence in this earlier image.
Whatever the reason, here is a panorama I created of a feature in the area that appears to me to be a steam bed. It is in or near the area they are currently drving to so it should be very interesting to see what they will find there:
Its just about clear that water, and plenty of it, flowed on Mars. What are the odds that after 10s of millions of years without the flow of surface water that it is now flowing under the surface? Now that would be one heck of a find.
I am still flabbergasted that you haven't brought up your astounding findings and astute observations to the scientists and geologists at NASA and JPL.....
Just think, you and your home computer have found evidence that NASA and JPL with billions of dollars worth of equipment and numerous *** laude scientists have obviously missed....
Boy did you show them by posting your findings here on C-D

In fact, as a member of the LAS, which is an NASA-affiliated amateur astronomy group, and a professional geologist, I did e-mail the curiosity team and asked them about the earlier image. I posted this stuff here and elsewhere so others could take a look at it and add their reasonable input. Now, unless you have something that actually adds to the discussion, then please stop with the personal attacks.

I doubt if there is much conduit flow presently on Mars, particularly if the conduits are directly connected to the surface. However, I don't doubt that diffuse flow is present at depth.

?? I congratulated you on your findings, so they are considered a personal attack?
How should I have worded it?
Ohhhh orogenicman, you are soooo intelligent to have observed something that everyone else in the world missed, you deserve a medal
