Hi Keith and MB:
In addition, Nininger's other "great" book, "Out of the Sky" explores the
spheroids in some detail on pg 241-242. Here is the results of Niningers
analyses:
Fe 53.88%
Ni 9.06%
Co 0.95%
P 0.56%
S 0.96%
CaO 1.10%
Insoluble residue 16.10%
Calculated Oxygen 7.96%
H2O 7.00%

I believe similar spheroids have been found at Monturaqui and Odessa.

Hi Keith,
    The fabulous, FIND A FALLING STAR by Nininger describes his work
with these cuties.
    Also, I have "large" and "small" ones for sale in little glass vials
containing 1g or each size, if anyone is interested - can send them a JPG.
    The above book may contain all your answers, though it has been
10 years or more since I read it, so, can't recall depth of info given.
    Best wishes, Michael

I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.
