    I found a rock the other day that looked rather interesting and when I looked at it through my microscope,
    I noticed some white spheres. On further examination, which included poking them with a surgical instrument, they exploded (burst) into a blood-like mass.
    I have only just started to look into these objects and therefore know very little at the moment, but would be grateful if someone could tell me what the spheres are.

    Many thanks

    Wild guess, iron nodules that weren't held in an airtight fashion in the accretion and oxidized. Rust.

    :shrug: Not enough data to make more than a guess.

    Post up some pix, eh? Fossils don't burst and spew blood when poked.
