Just a thought, but couldn't the spherules have been formed by slow boiling water from a cometry impact containing water & iron/minerals? - Since the atmospheric pressure is very low (and likely has been pretty thin through most of mars history) any standing water from say a big comet impact would have begun to boil would it not? - thereby forming iron rich spherical minerals... Anyone fancy boiling a large chunk of tagish lake in water to test the theory? :) Best, Mark Ford -----Original Message----- From: Ron Baalke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 March 2004 16:41 To: Meteorite Mailing List Subject: [meteorite-list] Mystery Spheres on Mars Finally Identified http://space.com/missionlaunches/mars_blueberries_040317.html ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
