Re: Interesting Article on Pseudofossils - The scientific name for "blueberry"?

Pseudofossils are naturally occuring formations of inorganic origin that mimic actual fossils.  Here's an article on the topic, pre-MER, that talks about a mineral formation similar to the hematite blueberries found on Mars.

Perhaps the blueberries are a type of pisolith...
