Additional Photographs of the Martian Spider

Image 01 of Spidy:
Spidy has a piece of debris stuck to his backside. This debris is very similar to that found inside the rock and is more evidence that Spidy was a passenger on the Frass Martian Space Ship. It is difficult to make observations about a possible new life form when I am limited by my earthbound viewpoint. As a matter of fact, he may be a she or even something in between or even totally different. These are just some of the questions that need to be answered, and maybe this little guy will help.

Image 02 of Spidy:
Spidy is on the alligator clips and appears to be walking towards you. You can see the piece of debris stuck to his back end. Notice it is a different color than Spidy.

Image 03 of Spidy:
The third picture is an intermediate view between that of pictures one and two. His body is pointed straight at you, yet his head if off to the side.

Image 04 of Spidy:
The picture is a close-up of his head. It appears to me that Spidy has one main body segment and his head seems to protrude from the hard case. It looks to me like he can move his head from side to side, but not up and down.

Image 05 of Spidy:
This picture shows Spidy from a slightly different position. Notice that he has four legs on each side and that each leg has four segments in it, although there is a fairly complicated joint where the legs attach to the body and I really don't know if it represents segments I haven't counted.

Image 06 of Spidy:
The next picture shows Spidy turned upside down. Don't worry kids, I tried not to hurt him. This picture is a close-up of the debris, but you can see how round his body looks beneath the debris. His body seems to be symmetrical if you imagine removing the piece of debris to see what he really looks like. I don't have the tools to remove that piece without destroying Spidy, so that will have to be a future project for someone who is better equiped than I.

Image 07 of Spidy:
This picture is looking the other direction but you can almost see a "mouth" at the end of his pointed face.

Image 08 of Spidy:
This picture is a close-up of the head and mouth of Spidy. You can see the shinny "cone" of his face. I guess this might be his nose, if you want to compare him to Earthly creatures.

Image 09 of Spidy:
This picture is is another close-up of the head.

Image 10 of Spidy:
As you can see in this picture, Spidy's head ain't much. He is laying on his back, his head is towards you and is looking up. You can see the pointed nature of his face.

Image 11 of Spidy:
This is a further magnification of Spidy's head. The front almost appears as if he has a kind of "snout."

Image 12 of Spidy:
Again, you can see the shinny "cone" of his face.

New Material

Here are three photo micrographs of the spider creature as taken by Daryl Adams.  As you can see, he has no face nor facial parts.  Also, he apparently has a head that can move from side to side.  All terrestrial spiders have a fused head and thorax, so they can't turn their head.  Since he came from an outside crevice, I don't know for sure if he came with the Frass Meteorite.  But, he sure looks weird to me.

That is about all we know about Spidy right now. Let's all hope that NASA will soon get involved so that Spidy can be studied like he should be. If you want NASA to study Spidy, then write them and let then know.
