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
