My guess is amino acids. Either way I think it's a ringing endorsement for Stuart Kauffman. Life is a rule not an exception.

But if its life then we didn't need curiosity. NASA already discovered life on Mars in the 70s.

Amino acids is a great guess. At the very least I'm expecting some form of organic compound.

I remember you posting this. If they do find evidence of life, I do hope that the Viking data get scrutinized again.
