Wood found on Mars? Not Photoshoped - off the nasa website.

now im not a betting man, but i know landrovers and there space caps are not made of wood. This clearly looks like a wooden plank to me. Unless someone hacked Nasa.gov's website and put up a photoshop'ed photo, this looks kinda odd.

Yeah, that does look odd.

It's a layered piece of likely sedimentary rock (awfully interesting in and of itself) that's been tilted vertically. But not wood.

[exnavychick]

It looks pretty odd to me, too. It looks like a big piece of wood alright. I wonder what the heck it is. Didn't they post any kind of description of the photo?

That wood is from Bush's timber company.

Rock like that out of nowhere .. in the middle of nothing common up on mars?

[spokeshave]

Could be fossilized wood

[One Dight]

Nope, just a plank-like looking space rock.

Tsunamis can carry debris a loooong way.

Richard Hoagland will be all over that. Looks like the edge of a layered rock to me.

Looks to me like a decaying railroad tie from the defunct Trans-Martian Railway.

Shiver me timbers.

LOL

I see a few more of them up and off to the right near the lip of the crater.

And I see C3PO by the escape pod directly above the wood off in the distance.

It's a Cadbury flake bar.
