    You will have to wait for the conference where he will publish his results. I have queried all my scientist and geology friends that could possibly have any insight, and they are mum. The conference is scheduled for 5 DEC 12 in San Francisco, so keep your eyes on the news from there.

    Keep in mind, what may be earth-shattering to a scientist is probably less so to the general public. The press has a HORRIBLE record of over hyping everything that comes from scientific research, because they have the basic scientific literacy of slime mold...

    I suspect he found what he calls evidence of life.

    Here is an article on him./

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Grotzinger

    He seems to be just the sort of person NASA wants. Someone who will find what NASA wants them to find.

    Given his "out there" ideas on stromatolites ...

    "asserting that early Proterozoic stromatolites may not all have had biological origins. Since stromatolites are vital tools in understanding the Precambrian biota, this proves to be an important consideration when studying ancient microbial evolution."
