These are strange round spheres sometimes with parallel lines on their sides. These lines are said to be 'fine layering present in the host rock' (see below). I tell you what, this would have to be extremely fine to be caused by that. Layering is usually made by the deposit of different materials over time, so how likely is it to have a regular 2 or 3-line deposit? Anyway, you decide.

Shape
The objects can come in many different shapes, but they take on a general round shape. Some vague lines, or grooves, may be seen on the outer surface. These have not been machined by aliens but they display imprints of the fine layering present in the host rock in which they grew. [2]

Size
The spheres range in size from .5cm to 10cm, with even latitudinal grooves on them. They were created in space between sediments, much like the way crystal can form extremely precise shapes.
