Neil Armstrong’s shadow is found in thin section of Lunar Sample
10065? His body, lunar vines, animal neuron fossils are all found and
identified in http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=lin440315&b=30&f=1044228676&p=29

Did NASA fake the photo?

"Lunar thin section" is a mis-label. If you go back one page, you
will see the same photo along with lots of pictures of thin
sections.

In the picture that had you fooled, there is a small photo of the rock
itself in an insert in the picture. The rest is an ordinary earth
scene with the shadow of someone. I think the purpose was to give
people some idea of the size of the rock itself.

Interested peoople can find more data on the actual sample
at: http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/lunar/catalogs/apollo11/10065.pdf

As for the lunar vines, etc. on the little rock in the photo, your eye
is seeing patterns like one sees in clouds. See my post of yesterday,

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.bio.paleontology/msg/e5a4a55d9fd7980e

for a link to a cloud picture featuring an ichthyosaur and a long-
necked plesiosaur craning its neck to watch the ichthyosaur leaping
out of the water and carrying a lot of the water along with it. Note
that the plesiosaur is itself rising out of the water, which is
flowing copiously down its side.

Incidentally, those clouds are chock full of fossilized mammalian neurons.

If you look at a SEM photo of an erythrocyte, you will find that it's
also full of mammal neurons.

Gould has a fine article about the Nummulosphere that's probably apropos
here.

Reply From Lunar and Planetary Institute:

Unfortunately that image should not have been in the Lunar Sample
Atlas.
It is an Earth-based astronaut training photo. The image is
mislabeled.
That image number should have been a lunar sample image. We will be
checking the collection for additional mislabeled images and remove
them.

The image appears to be one of the early images taking at one of
several
astronaut training sites most likely at Cinder Lakes, Arizona. The
vegetation in the image appears to be native sage brush plant. This
image was NOT taken on the Moon. Since this image was mislabeled at
some time in the last 40+ years, it is difficult to determine who's
shadow is in the image. If I find out more information, I will pass it
on to you.

Isn't it forgery to seamlessly "insert a small photo of the rock
itself in the picture"?

Added on April 9: The "Sage Brush" photo is a fake, not a mistake.

Mary Ann Hager of Lunar and Planetary Institute replied that this
photo was mistakenly placed in the Lunar Sample Atlas:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/samples/atlas/thin_section/?mission=Apollo%2011&sample=10065&source_id=S69-54910
(ref. 1)

However, the above image shows not only biotic branches
http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=lin440315&b=30&f=1044228676&p=29
but also crosshairs and human shadows without human images, just like
many other "moon landing" images. No such things happen in the Apollo
training images (see
http://galaxywire.net/2009/06/29/apollo-11-lunar-surface-simulation-training-photo-collection/
)
So, the photo containing the "sage brush" is not mistakenly placed in
the Lunar Sample Atlas. It was meant to be there.

Also, the following photos seem to show uneven lighting:

I'm unfamiliar with this use of the word "Loki." Is this an allusion
to "The Avengers"?

Thanks for the jokes, both of you. Best laughs for me this week so
far.

I'm seriously shocked that you don't know the term after posting on
Usenet for so many years. A Loki (synonym: Poe) is a poster who pretends
to defend a position not his own, an accusation generally made when a
poster's claim is unbelievably insane, as here. Usually, the accusation
is wrong. I suspect most people judge the probabilities by observing the
proportion of insane people in the real world. But Usenet is highly
enriched.

Numerous mammalian red blood cell remains are found in Lunar sample
10010 in these micrographs:

Did your doctor tell you how to recognize red blood cells?
If not, go to a nurse with these:
