They are interesting. Two things come to mind for spherical rocks. One, you
mentioned wind, and you might know theres an area where the rocks seem to
move and leave these curious tracks of they're movement across the ground.

It is interesting. The one thing you ommited about China though was that the

Many times flow streams show eddie currents, little

Not sure I have close to all the answers, but metal, free metal, in a

I just have to comment on this. Sedimentary rock, in any definition found in
geology and petrology books is matter which is laid down by either wind or
water, then compacted over time into a durable rock. This is not how
chondrules formed. Chondrules most likely are a coalescing of minute

Hello Mark and List
Bombs are typically highly vessiculated magmas. What

are ripped from the walls of a volcanic vent and would
have shapes that are irregular if not just plain

Hi Tom
Had you thought of a volcanic bomb? These are ejecta
which can travel some distance before hitting ground,
depending on the strength of the eruption.
Do a search on google.com under volcanic bombs and
you'll get a lot of returns which have great photos.
