BUSH HAILS JAROSITE AS BIBLICAL EVIDENCE
Of Parallel Parting of Red Sea on Mars

WASHINGTON (AP)

Mars-rover Opportunity has landed in area where liquid water once drenched the surface of fine, layered rock; if there had been life there, it might have flourished.

Liquid water once flowed there, changing the chemistry & composition of rocks laid down by minerals formed at the bottom of a salty lake/sea. Small voids/vugs formed when crystals of salt minerals aggregated in rocks sitting in salty water.

Random BB-sized molten droplet spherules
left from meteor impacts or volcanic action
grew inside porous rock, crossbedded by water/wind.

Bedrock in the wall of a small crater shows concentrated sulphur, rich in magnesium, iron, other sulfate salts & jarosite, an iron sulfate, as in an acid-rich lake or hot springs.
