Abstract

A SuperCam image captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover on Sol 0033 reveals circular and polygonal modules embedded within Martian rock fragments. These modules exhibit patterned geometry including darker central lumina surrounded by lighter rims. Their large sizes (> 1 mm) and repeating organization closely resemble engineered wood tissues in cross-section. Geological mechanisms cannot produce such structures. The evidence strongly supports that man-made wood-derived materials exist on Mars.

Introduction

Wood is widely used as a structural and manufacturing material on Earth. Its cells exhibit polygonal lumina and thick supporting walls. In contrast, no known Martian geological process can generate millimeter-scale cellular arrays with consistent lumina-wall architecture.

Perseverance’s SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager (RMI) captures sub-millimeter features at several meters distance. On Sol 0033, one specific RMI frame (NASA ID:

contains numerous wood-cell-like modules on the surface of a fractured rock. The annotated version is archived at:

These features are analyzed here.

Key observations:

• Circular and polygonal modules
• Dark lumina + light wall rims
• Embedded within rock fragments
• Modular dimensions exceed 1 mm
• Spatial organization: clustered in bands

Morphological Evidence

The modules exhibit five diagnostic characteristics of engineered wood tissues:

Martian Observation	Biological/Engineered Interpretation
Circular lumina	Hollow cells or vessels
Bright rims	Cell walls
Uniform size	Manufactured material
Multiple layers	Wood composite board
Sharp boundaries	Mechanical fabrication

The features appear too clean and too regular to be vesicles, nodules, or erosional pits.

The bright rims indicate structural walls that maintain geometry — something random cracking cannot explain.

Earth Comparison

Engineered wood materials contain enlarged repeated cell structures. Similarly, the Martian pattern reveals uniform “cell units” aligned in patches.

Mars modules mirror wood architecture in cross-section:

• Lumina present

• Wall boundaries

• Tiling array

• Millimeter-scale macro-cells (engineered size)

Geological Exclusion

Geological processes can produce:

• Random vesicles (lava)

• Micro-cracks (shrinkage)

• Irregular nodules (precipitation)

But none produce all of the following:

Required Feature	Geology?	SuperCam 0033?
Modular lumina	✘	✔
Bright wall rims	✘	✔
>1 mm, consistent geometry	✘	✔
Organized tiling	✘	✔

Thus:

Geology fails.

Interpretation

The observed structure corresponds to:

→ Wood-cell architecture
→ Man-made fabrication
→ A manufactured wooden material preserved on Mars

This supports physical evidence for former intelligent activity.

Conclusion

SuperCam imagery from Sol 0033 reveals structures indistinguishable from man-made wood tissues. The pattern, geometry, and scale eliminate geological origin. The simplest interpretation is that wood-based engineered artifacts are present in Jezero Crater.

Mars likely hosted:

1. Biological life

2. Technological development

3. Wood construction in the past

Further investigation is essential.
