Giant iron spheres found in Bosnia.
In archaeology, a petrosphere (from Greek πέτρα (petra), "stone", and σφαῖρα (sphaira), "ball") is the name for any spherical man-made object of any size that is composed of stone. There also are iron spheres.
At one point there were 80 of them.
Giant stone spheres of Ahualulco Mexico
Hundreds of stone spheres have been found all over the country of Costa Rica.
Within a short distance of the Primavera Forest-Caldera, lie several other extraordinary geological sites which could become partners with the new Geopark.
Forty kilometers to the west there is a hilltop covered with almost perfectly round stone balls up to three meters in diameter.
The Piedras Bola, as they are called, so intrigued geologists that National Geographic sent a team to Jalisco Mexico to unravel the mystery of these megaspherulites’ origins and to publish the results (See their August, 1958 issue).
More than 70 of these round rocks have been catalogued by a team from the University of Guadalajara (UDG) and it is thought that hundreds more lie beneath the surface.
The Chinese
'Volcano Eggs'
'A large number
of "Volcano eggs" were recently discovered along with a copper
sword at a construction site in Bandeng Hill and Zhanlong Hill,
Gongxi Town of Hunan Province.
The discoveries were made by
highway construction workers while they were digging the
foundation for a road. geologists believe that the stone eggs
are rare, large concretions of the carbonate rock'.
'The
construction workers said that Bandeng Hill is quite simply a
stone-egg mountain.
They found multiple nests of unique stone
eggs throughout the course of digging the road's foundation.
The
eggs are oval in shape, with a wide range of sizes; the smallest
one being no bigger than a water melon, while the largest is
reported as being the size of a big table.
Upon closer
examination they look like eggs from the outside, but are very
shiny and black on the inside'.
"The earliest reports of the stones come from the late 19th century, but they weren't really reported scientifically until the 1930s - so they're a relatively recent discovery," Hoopes said. "They remained unknown until the United Fruit Company began clearing land for banana plantations in southern Costa Rica."http://www.amusingplanet.com/2016/06/the-valley-of-balls-kazakhstan.html
