摘要

Abstract

Recently

we collected several thousand cosmic spheres in deep-sea sediments from the Northern Pacific (lat. 7°–11°N

long. 158°–178°W). They include iron sphere (83%)

sillicate spheres (15%)

and glassy spheres (2%). 5.7% of the iron spheres has button-shaped structures containing Ni

etc. This discovery is of significance for the further investigation into the origin and formation mechanism of cosmic spheres.
