Preserved for 3.7 billion years. Roughly the time when life first started on Earth. Amazing discovery!

The ESA rover cannot get over there fast enough
It can collect samples from beneath the surface with a 2m drill, and it is especially suited for biological research
If there were life on Mars in the past some of the longest persisting evidence would be long-chain alkanes, just as today crude oil exists from deposits of organisms from up to hundreds of millions of years in the past. However, these are trace levels and there are non-biological mechanisms of production, this is merely suggestive.
Is this a technical way of saying they’ve found a large pile of shit?
