Expand list date August 2008 This is a list of named rocks on Mars alphabetically by mission. Names for Mars rocks are largely unofficial designations used for ease of discussion purposes, as the International Astronomical Union s official Planetary nomenclature Martian naming system declares that objects smaller than 100m 330ft are not to be given official names. Because of this some less significant rocks seen in photos returned by Mars rovers have been named more than once, and others have even had their names changed later due to conflicts or even matters of opinion. ref http www.post gazette.com pg 05282 584655.stm Map of Mars fills up with strange names Bot generated title ref Viking program Big Joe Bonneville Delta Rock Midas Muffler Mr. Badger Mr. Moley Mr. Rat Mr. Toad Patch Rock Mars Pathfinder valign top width 200px Anthill Auto Baby Otter Bama Bambam Barnacle Bill Mars Barnacle Bill Barsoom Basket Bebob Blackhawk Bosco Book Shelf Booboo Boyle Brak Brick Broken Wall Bug Bullwinkle Bunky Cabbage Patch Calvin Cardiac Hill Casper Chimp Clumk Contour Couch Cradle Darth Vader Desert Princess Dilbert width 200px Dilbert s Boss Dogbert Dragon Duck Ender Elvis Flat Top Flipper Flute Top Frog Froggy Garfield Garibaldi Garrak Geordi Ginger Goldilocks Goose Gosling Grandma Grizzly Grommit Gumby Half Dome Hamster Hassock Hardstop Hedgehog Hero Hippo Hobbs Homer width 200px Hoppy Iggie Iguana Indiana Jones Jailhouse Janeway Jazzy Jedi Jimmy Cricket Kitten Lamb Landon Little Flat Top Longhorn Lookout Lozenge Lumpy Lunchbox Mafalda Marvin the Martian Mesa Mini Matterhorn Mint Julep Moe Mohawk Mouse Mr. Mole Nibbles Nigel Obelisk Otter Pancake Paz Penguin width 200px Picnic Piglet Pinky Pinocchio Piper Platypus Pokey Poohbear Poptart Potato Pumpkin Pyramid Pyramid Point Ratbert Ren Rocky Rolling Stone Rye Bread Sandworm Sardine Sassafras Seawolf Scooby Doo Scout Shaggy Shark Simba Sisyphus Smidgen Snoopy Snowy Snukums width 200px Soufle Squash Squeeze Space Ghost Spock S ... more details

See Template PBB Controls to Stop updates. PBB Summary section title summary text This gene is a member of the snoRNA H ACA snoRNPs small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins gene family. snoRNPs are involved in various aspects of rRNA processing and modification and have been classified into two families C D and H ACA. The H ACA snoRNPs also include the NOLA1, 2 and 3 proteins. The protein encoded by this gene and the three NOLA proteins localize to the dense fibrillar components of nucleoli and to coiled Cajal Bodies Cajal bodies in the nucleus. Both 18S rRNA production and rRNA pseudouridylation are impaired if any one of the four proteins is depleted. The protein encoded by this gene is related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cbf5p and Drosophila melanogaster Nop60B proteins. The gene lies in a tail to tail orientation with the palmitoylated erythrocyte membrane protein MPP1 gene and is transcribed in a telomere to centromere direction.
