What do you notice about this track?

| One was made when the surface was wet? That they are different surface types? Too many to note. |

I think he's trying to say the Mars tracks have no dimension, no ruts on either side, they just look spraypainted on.

Hmmmm. I see ruts in both pictures. Of course, it may be a little difficult for the cerebrally challenged who don't get the whole "fairly uniform and dry" thing. Sorry, your example is from a completely different type of soil where ruts are more pronounced. The Martian soil is a lot finer than this stuff and of a more uniform color. There are very small ruts.
I also question size, distance, and other factors that a picture without reference points has. They could be taken at different altitudes. Drag a small rock across a dried mud puddle. Examine it from an altitude of a few inches. The rut it cuts seems deep. Now examine it from a standing position. The rut it cuts seems much fainter.
Although why I am bothering is beyond me. You won't accept this answer because you have made up your mind that this picture is faked and no evidence to the contrary will sway your fanatical devotion to your decision.

Yeah its the same clip I posted on the first page, are we to believe that the entire martian surface should behave the same way as the moistened salt flats of california?
Just lock the thread. |

The Mars tracks look a lot more like a Miro' painting than a Dali.
Did I tell you I went to see those moving rocks in Death Valley? I probable did. My son and I went there as a side trip on one of our excursions to see the Leonid's meteor storm. The rocks are a bit smaller in person and it's fairly plain they are pushed by strong desert winds when the dry lake bed is wet from the rain. They make great pictures though. Our photos look really cool. |

For the record, it's not a salt flat. Those are elsewhere. |
