And inflatable rubber dinosaurs too. Since they are coming from the dinosaur-era, nothing else will be known to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Posted August 1, 2020 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Could this be extrapolated to finding life on Mars for example? There was an almost total absence of food in this occasion and yet the microbes were still alive 100 million years later. If Mars had ever had life in the past 100 million years, could we find microbes in a similar situation? Edited August 1, 2020 by Vox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
