thanks for earth family for scale! The columns in Arizona look like something we'd make in our sandbox with wet sand by dribbling it in one place in stages to build up columns.
I just love these unforeseen discoveries that space science brings to the table. It's exactly where science is so brilliant. Thanks Mars Guy for your insight and videos you bring us. Cheers 👍💪✌
Thank you, Mars Guy. My Sunday morning coffee tastes so much better thanks to your videos. You've made geology on Mars AND Earth, fascinating to me. I wish I had developed this interest 5 decades ago. But no matter, I'm loving it now because of you and this channel. I have started to look at rocks the way a book lover looks at books in a library, every rock and pebble has a history and a story to tell!! True, I can not read those stories, but just knowing they have one makes me see them with a new found appreciation and admiration. BTW, can you recommend a book on basic geology for a mind with a high school education and a newly found interest in the field?
Does this latest discovery invalidate the accepted understanding of the olivine origin shown in that paper? Or does it still make just as much sense or slightly adjust it?
So much geology in one place!!! Volcanoes, rivers, lakes, meteors craters, erosion...my head is happily exploding! Thank you for the deep dive into the olivine crystals.
I don't comment often but I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. It's so nice to be able to catch your five minute updates every Sunday and keep up with the progress of these rover missions. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that there's some VW Beetle sized rovers doing cool stuff on Mars,, but with your videos we all get to follow along without having to dig for info. It's a real public service.
Love the geology perspective. So much Mars geologic history and formation processes can be derived from the rocks. What’s your opinion on which way to invest in Mars R&D money; 1… return samples or 2… a more complete lab on Mars? Also what would be included in a more complete lab on Mars? (Isotope ratios of crystal grains? Age dating via zircons? Mass spectrometry for isotopes and element ratios in grain sized samples? Stereoscopic 3D analysis of grain structure? Hyperspectral measurements & analysis? Electron microscope?). I have doubts about ever getting our hands on the collected samples due to cost and think a more useful goal would have been planting seismometers all over the place instead, or an improved lab.
I wonder if it's possible the olivine could have been inserted and distributed by the meteor that created the crater? The Tuff that apparently forms the ledges around it may be the fall back of the pyroclastic flow the meteor would have created...?
If they ever found something like the Sailing stones of the Death Valley people would loose their minds and the conspiracy theorist would be out in droves. Would be entertaining.
Thx, Mars Guy! I visited the Papakōlea Green Sand Beach Hawai'i a few years ago, which got me reading about it. It also has those "bands" (or layers?) like the area in your video, and is considered a tuff ring. 🤔 Do you think there's any similarity? One fact I don't know is the % of olivine @ Papakōlea. Not sure if as high as 25%.
In the Neretva Vallis channel, within the Steigerwald Lake quad, is this accumulation of material known as Crown Point. It is a mound of stones and sand that was once surrounded and/or covered by water. It has a more or less gentle slope to the N and W but it appears strongly eroded, appearing to be cut by a vertical plane with a linear precision from NE to SW approximately.
At the moment of this video that you indicate, a prominent rock formation that I named Siguapa Rock a few weeks ago appears on a much closer plane. This formation could serve as a conspicuous point or natural reference mark to locate oneself. In the extraordinary photo of Percy it appears almost in line with Crown Point.
This photo is part of an impressive mosaic. In this mosaic I have been able to identify several areographic features of the Steigerwald Lake, Arrecife Alacranes, Ha Long Bay and Badlands quads.
A few weeks ago I was able to identify the movement of a dust devil from the Ha Long Bay quad to the Ngorongoro quad. I said towards the NW but after seeing this mosaic it could be towards the N or NNW.
Are we to call Olympus Mons "Pure-Foot Mountain" as that's what most historians agree the term Olympos originally meant? You're more than welcome to selectively translate the literal meanings from the names you don't like as you see fit, but there's not much point. Séítah is more than fine. If we did the same for Jezero Crater it would translate to "Lake Crater".
4:26 “Here’s Earth Family for Scale” Thanks for the chuckle. Love your sense of humour. And thanks for the Mars updates too, the reason Im watching.
Thanks again Mars Guy. It's quite amazing that you can give us weekly updates on Mars exploration.
“Here’s earth family for scale”. Nice. 😊
Your videos are great. Thoroughly enjoy them all.
Keep it up. 👍🏻
One of the best channels on the Tube. thanks. the map at 2:34 was gorgeous.
Great video as always. My little Sunday ritual.

Yay. Sunday AM and time for my Mars update.
If someone had told me 20 years ago: "One day, you'll check every Sunday what's happening on Mars," I would have thought they were crazy!
Can you imagine a more water eroded Mars with hoodoos? I guess well just have to be happy with the weird discoveries we are actually finding.
Good morning MG that’s a lot of erosion. Thank you once again for your work

Could all of these not be decompression joints formed subparallel to the surface by removal of the overlying rocks by erosion?

Maybe olivine doesn't separate as much in lower gravity?
Geology of Mars
Interesting
As Comparable to Earth
Wow, intriguing! Thanks, Mars Guy.
"Here's family for scale" 😆
Another great lesson in geology and another bucket list place to visit in AZ!
The mars guy for scale thing was amazing.
Amazing
If they ever found something like the Sailing stones of the Death Valley people would loose their minds and the conspiracy theorist would be out in droves. Would be entertaining.
Another fantastic MG video. The hoodoos at the end reminded me of similar formations in Cappadocia Turkey 🇹🇷
never seen pictures of Chiricahua b4. think I mght go there sometime
HI EARTH FAMILY!! 👋
"Earth Family" Why is no one talking about this HUGE discovery?!
Thx, Mars Guy! I visited the Papakōlea Green Sand Beach Hawai'i a few years ago, which got me reading about it.

Nice! I Love Science!
I noticed there are no caves on Mars !!! can u confirm that ?
What an interesting question! I would like to know the answer to this as well.
@@apriladams7119 What's interesting is that Caves are created by Water !!! So if there are no caves .... lol oopss
5:10 that tall rock in the background!

Chill out it’s just a square rock that has eroded.
This photo is part of an impressive mosaic. In this mosaic I have been able to identify several areographic features of the Steigerwald Lake, Arrecife Alacranes, Ha Long Bay and Badlands quads.

*LOL Earth Family for Scale haha very good.*
Is that Mars Guy's Earth Family by any chance? Another great resource for exploring the solar system. Thx MG!
0:16 Is that some kind of alien observation building?
Conjoined twins?
Thumbs up
Despite what BBT-Sheldon says -- MG makes Geology sound like a Real Science! I wonder if there is a non-GEO word for the "Geology of Mars". ☆☆
Heh, Earth Family
Wow! Thanks that was cool.
👍
Is there life on Mars ---- ? --- 🤔
Cool
For the algo
Crystals, sure. But not a single McDonalds!
Just to be the first to comment :-) I'm sure the video is perfect als always :-)
Now I'm going to be saying "Hoodoo" all day. I'll refer everyone who is annoyed to this channel.
Hoodoo, hoodoo, hoodoo!
We will have a Mars base by 2026. Then humans can properly explore for fossils etc
No we won't
Not being Naviho can we just call it "Amongst The Sand"? Are we going to have a native "welcome to country" when humans arrive on Mars?

Séítah is more than fine.
