French space scientists may even now be eyeing the red planet with hungry eyes after the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed what look like giant snails on the surface.
The 'snails' are liable to be rather crunchy, however - they are actually lava flows in the planet's Elysium region in spiral patterns that resemble snail or nautilus shells.
Such patterns have been found in a few locations on Earth, but never before on Mars.
The new result came from ongoing research into whether there was once water in the Elysium volcanic province of Mars.
The pictures were captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment - HiRISE - camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter.
'I was interested in Martian outflow channels and was particularly intrigued by Athabasca Valles and Cerberus Palus, both part of Elysium,’ says Arizona State University graduate student Andrew Ryan.
