Explanation: How were these unusual Martian spherules created? Thousands of unusual gray spherules made of iron and rock and dubbed blueberries were found embedded in and surrounding rocks near the landing site of the robot Opportunity rover on Mars in 2004. To help investigate their origin, Opportunity found a surface dubbed the Berry Bowl with an indentation that was rich in the Martian orbs. The Berry Bowl is pictured here, imaged during rover's 48th Martian day. The average size of a Martian blueberry rock is only about 4 millimeters across. By analyzing a circular patch in the rock surface to the left of the densest patch of spherules, Opportunity obtained data showing that the underlying rock has a much different composition than the hematite rich blueberries. This information contributes to the growing consensus that these small, strange, gray orbs were slowly deposited from a bath of dirty water.

David Bowie said there were spiders from Mars, but he did not mention the rabbits.
4 mm is about the size of a BB shot.
A Martian game of marbles, anyone?
So, aliens use shotguns?
They are eggs. I saw a documentary called Star Trek about this.
George said we was gettin rabbits an’ I get to feed em and pet em.
They do look like rabbit pellets.
Yes. They are rabbit eggs. I think I have a recipe for Thanksgiving stuffing using them.
Wow.
Martian mouse poop. :-)
During geology field camp in Central Utah summer of ‘88 we found a spot that had millions of these loose, iron concretions scattered over the terrain. It was like walking on ball bearings. They varied in size and were up to a half inch thick as I recall. Lots of interesting stuff out there you never dream of.
If I had to guess, I would say that was the bottom of a dried up Martian ocean.
Is that light circular area a lens anomaly or the demarcated scoring area of the marble game played with the metallic rabbit eggs?
