Ancient Martian

Left uncovered by sandstorms, the answer to mans question of are we alone in the universe lies in front of our artificial ambassador to the Red Planet. Nicknamed "Adam" the fossil remnants of the Martian are a little less than 1/4 of a yard in length but the discovery of such great importance sparking humanities' interest in extraterrestrial life. The fossil shows a distinctly arthropod-like creature with some features found in vertebrate animals. It is speculated that it might have led a life much like that of Antarctic Isopod roaming the waters of Mars that were starting to become very frigid and evaporating at a progressively rapid rate. Judging by the limbs "Adam" was a predator and it is possible that fossilized prey items exist somewhere around its remains area.
