NASA misidentified “Rock Jake” as a feldspar (note 1). The reason for
the misidentification is very simple: NASA presupposed it was a rock
and analysed its chemical elements to identify it as a rock when it
is actually a fossil (note 2). Fossils cannot be identified by
chemical elements. No one uses chemical elements to identify a fossil.
