3-Billion Year Old Manufactured Spheroids? Even NASA is baffled)

[The Loan Arranger]

At least 200 have been found, and extracted out of deep rock at the Wonderstone Silver Mine in South Africa, averaging 1-4 inches in dia. and composed of a nickel-steel alloy that doesn't occur naturally.

Some have a thin shell about a quarter inch thick, when broken open are filled with a strange spongy material that disintegrates into dust upon contact with air.

A complete mystery according to Roelf Marx curator of the South African Klerksdorp Museum, as the one he has on exibit rotates on its own, locked in a display case, free of outside vibrations.

The manufactured metallic spheroids have been mined out of a layer of pyrophyllite rock and geologically and by the various radio-isotope dating techniques are shown as being 2.8 - 3 billion years old, long before man, as shown at the bottom of the graph.

Somebody or Something obviously has been around for a long time, before primivive humans.

They also baffled NASA, according to info from the Museum.

love the tiny gif

[paulmartin]

this likely a hoax, but even if if these spheres exists, maybe the inaccuracy's with the dating method, and perhaps the prevailing thought that early man was primitive.

ping for later

Perhaps the accepted methods of dating artifacts are inaccurate?.

Uh, artifacts buried in rock layers tend to be the age of the rock layer.

Brimstone for Sodom?

It was too small!!

Wassamatta? Cat got your x?

Moqui marbles are also naturally occurring spheres, or so it is assumed, they are hematite surrounding compact sandstone.

Nobody is exactly sure how nature formed them but in the absence of other evidence, it is assumed they are natural.

[GeronL]

That was cute huh?? For those who missed #50.... and think its too small

The small version has the virtue of really starting out looking like the dreaded "image not available" red x. It hits you from your blindside. Very funny!

[GeronL]

It got me by surprise, I can tell you that....

Kinda like the martian blueberries. No one who can be taken seriously thinks they were produced artificially but Mars is covered with them none the less.
