Rock Fingers on Mars
What is that, just right of center? The Curiosity rover on Mars imaged these finger-like rock spires. They are similar in size and shape to small snakes. The leading explanation is that they are conglomerations of small minerals left by water flowing through rock crevices. After these dense minerals filled the crevices, they were left behind.
