Hello List, I guess you all have seen those pictures coming from Mars at the the Meridiani Planum/Opportunity site. Embedded in, and eroding out of the bedrock in the sidewall of the 20 m crater where Opportunity is located, are those 5mm perfect spherical stones. They have a different colour

Re: [meteorite-list] What are those blueberries on Mars?

Mark, It certainly is the science team at JPL's idea that the 'round guys' are embedded in the outcrop. For instance Dr. Squyres were talking about wheter they could see the layers curving above or below the balls, or wheter it is possible to see if the balls have made a small dent in the

Re: [meteorite-list] What are those blueberries on Mars?

Thanks Bjorn. I missed Dr. Squyres comments. Certain terrestrial limestones are oolitic, but it sounds as though JPL is looking for evidence of so-called dropstones. I wonder where the spheroids evident in the soil ABOVE the outcrop came from. Perhaps younger sedimentary layers have already
