Talk:Klerksdorp Spheres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Comments on Composition and Shape
Given that the Klerksdorp spheres consist of pyrite (FeS2), wollastonite (CaSiO3), and hematite (Fe2O3), I have deleted the term "metallic" from the article as being factually incorrect and completely misleading.
Similarly, given the fact that objects are not perfect spheres and are also disc-shaped and often intergrown with each other, I have also deleted, except in the proper name and where properly qualified with an adjacent, such as "flattened", the term "sphere" from this article. Calling them "spheres" is both factually incorrect and misleads the reader by projecting a false impression of the actual shapes of these objects.
