Comparison of Mars and Earth Glassies

New pictures

Picture taken by Opportunity on Day 19

For size context, each of the pebbly grains below the larger round spherical and other rocks
is about 100 to 200 microns in diameter, about the size of a sugar grain. So the long, unidentified
filament laying on those little grains is much smaller in diameter. Opportunity Microscopic Imager Non-linearized

on far right side, near center, glassy appears to lay on top of two "rocks"

this rock appears to have "lichens" growing all over it
