Lovingly nicknamed Cheyava Falls after a Grand Canyon waterfall, the “vein-filled” arrowhead-shaped rock apparently contains organic compounds, implying it may have hosted microbial life when water flowed across Mars .The specimen was found on the northern edge of Neretva Vallis, an ancient river valley measuring a quarter-mile wide that was carved by water rushing into Jezero Crater long ago.
“This trip through the Neretva Vallis riverbed paid off as we found something we’ve never seen before, which will give our scientists so much to study.” NASA hopes to bring Cheyava Falls to Earth for further research in the coming years, but in the meantime is warning Earthlings not to get too excited about life on Mars.
