Moqui Marbles seem to be hematite concretations: http://www.newarkcampus.org/professional/osu/faculty/jstjohn/Moqui%20Marbles/Moqui%20Marbles.htm Such concretations are always much younger than the strata they are found in. Their shape is determined by the water-cut cavities they form in. Karst-y China is a perfect place to find them, too. Looking for one thing, you often find another. The same website has a picture page with four objects that all look pretty much the same but are all different. Take a look at the four "tektites," only one of which really is a tektite. http://www.newarkcampus.org/professional/osu/faculty/jstjohn/Looking-the-Same/Looking-the-Same.htm Sterling K.

Check out the last photo in this article- it (and somewhat the others) resembles the Moqui marbles I have. Except these are in pounds- not grams or ounces. http://en.epochtimes.com/news/7-6-5/56130.html Have a good afternoon Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
