"Skull" rock appears on Mars, experts shudder because...

NASA has discovered a mysterious rock on Mars , dubbed “Skull Hill,” located at the edge of Jezero Crater – which was once the bottom of an ancient lake. The rock is black, pockmarked, and unlike any other rock previously recorded in the area. (Photo: SciTechDaily)

Data from Perseverance suggests Skull Hill is not a meteorite, nor does it fit neatly into sedimentary rock. Theories range from volcanic rock containing dark minerals to a rock transported by water from a time when Mars was wet. (Photo: The Irish Sun)

NASA is conducting further analysis to determine the origin of Skull Hill, in the context that Jezero Crater may hold many mysteries about the history of the Red Planet. Although it is not yet possible to conclude whether this discovery is related to ancient life or not, it has contributed to promoting research on Mars' past . (Photo: Daily Mail)
