Well if it really is FeO2 - this has not been found to occur naturally to date and requires extremely high pressures which would have to be created some how.
In the above, they attribute this to a large scale comet shower and is all down to air bursts and melt, but omit to mention this could well have been coupled with the collapse of a plasma column (North and South) between the Earth and its “original Sun” - as witnessed in myth and in petroglyphs by our ancestors , the latter being a much better explanation of the extent and relative suddenness of the event. A picture paints a thousand words as they say, and if you scroll down the article referenced by the above URL you come upon some very familiar crenellated (hollow) spheres and dumbbells, which the authors attribute to melted material, but look very much like the kernels of ball lightning (which would form in any event - but particularly in a charged plasma environment - as a result of the shockwave of cometary debris hitting the atmosphere - much like in the projectile fired into limestone experiments )
ANother thing they forgot to mention is that the impact fields further to the South show North West-South East and North East-South West Orientation, with none going East-West / West-East or South-North (in any form), clearly indicating a shower from the pole downward - and, unless the Earth rotated back and forth like an agitator in a top-loading washing machine, the idea of the Earth crossing through a comet stream (the Clovis comet stream) fails to explain the impact field patterns. As to the "Black Matts" in which the spherules are found, basically these are massive deposits of Carbon - maybe caused by fires, but elements transmuted into Carbon should definitely not be ruled out! Also noticed was a "platinum anomaly" at eleven continental sites dated to the Younger Dryas, with a coincident platinum/palladium ratio inconsistent with terrestrial origins.
I was wondering about that - but from the PNAS paper, I see:
SEM/EDS analyses of candidate spherules provided oxide weight percentages (wt%) for 13 elements. Spherule compositions ranged from homogeneous to heterogeneous, with the three most abundant oxides being iron oxide (expressed as total FeO) with an average of 44.9 wt% (range: 0–100%); silica (SiO2) averaged 30.9 wt% (range: 0–95%); and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) averaged 12.2 wt% (range: 0–65%). The other 10 oxides ranged from 0.1 to 3.5 average wt% (SI Appendix, Table S6).
>>>> The oxide concentrations were inferred from normal oxidation states and not measured directly, making it likely that other compounds are also present <<<<
So, the FeO is assumed ! The reason I don't think they are simply melted droplets, however, is that:
1. they are hollow
2. they have that familiar "inside of a golf ball or tennis ball crenelated look"
and, of course, its 12.5K years ago, so maybe some degradation... anyway, there is definitely something there.
They hypothesise that the lack of small non FeO based spherules is due to their time-abrasion etc decay.
"To investigate potential preservation biases, we plotted FeO concentrations against spherule diameters. For sites with active depositional paleoenvironments (e.g., rivers, streams, and dunes), all YDB objects averaged 86 wt% FeO, whereas sites with less active paleoenvironments had an average of 25 wt% FeO, ∼3.4× less (SI Appendix, Fig. S21 B and C and Table S6). For YDB objects <50 µm, FeO was 77 wt%, whereas for YDB objects ≥200 µm in all paleoenvironments, the average FeO abundance was 15 wt%, ∼5× less (SI Appendix, Table S6). This disparity reveals that Al-Si–rich spherules are significantly underrepresented both in the <50-µm group and at sites with active paleoenvironments, most likely due to the preferential destruction over time of smaller Al-Si–rich spherules, producing a bias in favor of Fe-rich spherules."
I think they need to ion beam cut some of the larger spherules and see what is inside before making this conclusion.
It has this nice description of the dynamic effects that lead to various observed features.
"In particular, micro-spherules from the mammoth skull (Fig. 5b,e,g–i) show accretionary features, which form within the impact plume when partially molten and still tacky projectiles collide at low differential velocities. At higher initial velocities destructive collisions often occur resulting in particles displaying micro-craters (Fig. 5e) and/or brittle fracturing 30"
I believe I have seen that paper before. The predominantly Fe + O spherules on page 5 (Fig. 4 b and c) are very similar to the Hessdalen BL one and ours produced in VEGA.
The ones in Fig 5, p.5 are more like HHO plasma products. Fig 6b is again similar to me356 W rod discharge with K2CO3 in H2O one and some VEGA samples.
I note again that these spherules are without meaningful Manganese as per Fig 8d (lack of presence in the F region of the ternary diagram.
Given their other makeup ratios in fig 8 and our experience with coherent matter in VEGA and ULTR, I would suggest these are intense plasma turbulence initiated, coherent matter derived spherules.
I was aware of this period of impacts and of other studies showing products similar to those produced in our experiments.
Thanks for this article. The Chobot and Lingen samples around mean of 35 um are most similar to ours and others claimed as from atmospheric interactions of matter.
I wasn’t sure you had become aware of Loeb’s claims, but had thought that if you were you would offer a counterpoint. Once you become aware that these spherules are much more than simple molten metal drops, their interpretation become much more complex.
I would like to investigate the disrupted matter in the triangles of our large Hutchison sample, which I now believe has migrated from New Mexico to California.
Off topic but since we are here on Remote View I thought I would draw peoples attention to the fact that the mysterious page 25 of the CIA report on remote viewing has surfaced. See here in this vice report: https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7e4g3/found-page-25-of-the-cias-gateway-report-on-astral-projection
Haha - yep - holy spirit.
Good work as usual, Uncle Bob!
What’s the significance of FeO2 here?
Also, so have you never found Mn in and of the VEGA, LION, ejecta or other tests because it requires more energy to produce?
Well if it really is FeO2 - this has not been found to occur naturally to date and requires extremely high pressures which would have to be created some how.

Though one might argue it was rust or Fe2O3.H2O as an EDS cannot see Hydrogen this would give a FeO2 ratio.
Not found Mn in the crenelated Fe+O spheres.
55Mn is not an optimal product of LENR, it is a fuel as shown by Vysotskii when studying bacterial transmutation.
There was a well known ufo sighting at a missionary school by the coast of Papua New Guinea.
This reminds me of the findings of microspherules in a narrow carbon-rich sediment dated to the start of the Younger Dryas period - for example:

None of these have FeO2

We literally see these spherules synthesised in "Black Matts" of carbon
