Hundreds of millions of years ago?

Skull, riiiight...:roll:

I share your doubts that it is a skull but we have only been in a position to seriously examine Mars for signs of life since the mid 1960's.

And how many years have I been putting my keys on the nightstand next to my bed yet somehow I still manage to not be able to find them??? That's my tiny place.. now imagine trying to find some thing of importance on ANOTHER PLANET. Heck, we have so many historical "treasures" that can no longer be found. This is on OUR PLANET and have been searched for centuries for some stuff and can't find it. Not to mention fossil and evolutionary evidence.

Could this be a fossilzed being of bone? Who knows. Could it be a rock with a wierd shadow and shape? Who knows.

look a little lower and to the right of the skull.... I see a seal's head.

must be a sand seal. Maybe the skull is from a martian seal beater who did himself in by accident?

Could you actually be a magical dragon with sixty wings typing on a terminal in space? WHO KNOWS??
We certainly can't use indirect evidence to be 99% sure of something. Nope. Not even close to possible.

Something that had bones wouldn't have developed without there being fossils all over the place. We would have found more evidence of life if there were bones on the ground.

Now...primitive life? Certainly a possibility.

But African swallows are non-migratory.

well based on that collection of photos, it doesn't look that much different from a few backyards I've seen in Arizona and New Mexico.
