Well for one thing your link doesn't work. Even if it did, its not like you asked a question anyway, you just posted a link. Why should anyone care?

He messed up the link with that smily, erase that, and it's fine. Are you looking for confirmation of what it's saying Keano?

The link does work if you remove the "confused" stemming from the smiley at the end.

why should you care?

im presuming you are all scientists

and scientists are usually interested in strange phenomena

 

if the link doesnt work go to http://www.mars-news.de

You have to take away the : confused : part in the link. Somehow, it got there by mistake

This link goes to a much better article, with more science and less wild speculation based on little.

 

Here it says

 

After spectroscopic analysis, the Martian spherules were identified as “hematite concretions”. Hematite is an iron-rich mineral and is the primary constituent of the soil surrounding the blueberries. Geologists surmised that they are Martian counterparts of terrestrial concretions, which are commonly believed to have formed through water-induced mineral leakage. But this only widens the mystery. Theories about the formative processes of concretions are little more than untested guesses. No geologist has seen a concretion being made or has made one in a laboratory—or has disproved a competing theory. (But geologists have shown that the more a guess is repeated, the more it’s apt to be called a fact.)

 

They may just be mineral, but still cool
