Martian Sunbathing Spiders

[Transient001]

Hello friends, recently I saw a photo posted by NASA where they talk about what seems to be dark spiders over the surface of planet Mars, of course they dismiss it saying its nothing more than carbon dioxide related geysers. Okay, however, they say nothing about the strange surface or rather structure that the alleged spiders are sitting on. Here's the picture

The strange formation seems to be protruding from the sandy surface, and its consistency is different than that of the surrounding soil. To me it looks like a giant fossil of some kind of gargantuan creature; crustacean even. Well let me know if anyone knows something else.

That looks like a complex bone structure. It even has hairs on it! What is the scale-size?

In the article (But remember Darby's suggestion of being wary with articles) it doesn't really say. You can infer that it might be some types of dunes. But it is not certain, because then agian it doesn't say. Maybe they are trying to see how imaginative people is before goin on public and saying: "Oh yeah...we forgot to mention that the sun bathing spiders are atop what seems to be a ancient martianlosaurus "

You know, I couldn't help but notice, these photos look like toe nail clippings from my sister.

Still can't find them on the yahoo news thread, well anyways did you see that?

see what Trans? That certainly looks like normal sand, as we know it here on earth- so, there must have been sea based life you would assume.

Spiders on Mars make sense to me for some reason.

Spiders on Mars make sense to me for some reason.

These would be pretty damned big spiders. Given the scale listed on the original site, the spiders would be roughly the size of a 4,000 sq. ft. home.

Mighty impressive and scary. Scientist say they could be colonies of bacteriae of some alien form.
