Bright orange blotches coat the lava-rock walls of Gruta do Carvão in São Miguel, one of the Portuguese Azores islands, in an undated picture. The ooze is among several examples of colorful mineral deposits that are actually mats of waste excreted by microbes living on cave walls, researchers said in October 2009.

It is possible that somebody reading this will be amongst the first humans to set foot on Mars since antediluvian times.
Do not go to that place unarmed!! Granted it is hellishly unlikely, but it is not beyond the realm of the possible that you might meet up with some rat or cockroach inside some tunnel or megalith or something and, due to the low gravity, that rat or cockroach might be ten feet long, and dialing 9-11 will not help. Just WAY better to have the FAL or 45/70 on hand and never need it than to need it and not have it...
Latrines, microbe poop, what next? Very scatological pings for a Thanksgiving day, Civ.
I think I saw a dress on M, my belle, O with this pattern and these colors.
