Crank it up? Look at this microscopic image of the "failed grind". I do believe that I'm going to need to be darted again. I see fossils all over the face of this failed grind. The "men" are coming . . . they're coming again . . .

Okay, it's official: That's FRIKKEN WEIRD! Those little balls o' something are suspended by some thin aspect structuring. What IS that?!

I see the miniature bubble structure that forms on the bottom of a pot of queso when not using a double boiler. Seriously. It looks like something got hot and burned, forming little bubbles.
Of course, the only thing I can think of that would do that is an organic compound.... So, I probably need to be darted, as well.

Perhaps it could be mineral balls that solidified from a constant drip effect.
All appear directional.(without 3-d glasses)

Amazing in 3-D.

Microscope... 3D glasses.... Learn to wildly speculate without complete information, man! ;>)
You do have a point. The point I was making is that geologists see fossils, I see unwashed dishes. Context and full information would be a great help.

Is there a B&W of that pic? I checked the website, it looks like they decided to rearrange it, so now I can't find nuthing. Jerks!

Excellent find! Maybe this explains why many of the spheres have a small hole - that would be the spherules' 'belly button'.
Of course, bizarre morphologies will be attributed to tricks of lighting and perspective. /sarcasm

And another! What's that thing hidden behind and under the ball with the flat top?

Wow! Tiny little mushrooms. Or something.
Is there any consensus on what the outcropping of rock is? Sedimentary? What?
If sedimentary... as in a sea bed or stream bed... what makes little round features with stems in mud? Besides frogs and some fish?

I found it. They didn't rearrange it, but there are multiple sites. Some of the micrographs make the spheres look kind of "fuzzy". Maybe some kinda fungus.

They are looking for fossils in the grinds.
These appear to be what they are. Microscopic images of rocks and mineral structure on a world that once was covered in liquid.
