[meteorite-list] New evidence for microbial fossils in Martian meteorite

[hxmendoza]

Phil,
No one has ever the Martian microbes were in an ocean. Only that there  
was water in the environment the organisms grew in. And there has been  
microrganisms found in and near basaltic rock. Seems that life finds  
niches in many environments, even extremely hostile ones.

I would suggest to many on this list to read the book:
    The Rock from Mars by Kathy Sawyer

Just yesterday I watched a documentary episode of THE PLANETS that had  
a researcher talking about microrganisms being found in volcanic rock  
in remote and extreme places on earths surface. And let's not forget  
the microorganisms that have been found near fumerols at the bottom of  
the oceans.

I'm new to this listing and do not like some of the name calling and  
such I've been reading while catching up. So please know that my  
response is not to incite animosity but rather fruitful discussion.

Best regards to all!
