What scientists say?

Chinese scientists are also very interested in the mysterious formation of stones and trying to give this phenomenon a scientific explanation.

According to one version, the stone balls were lumps that are formed by molecules of calcium carbonate in the deep sea about 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period (started 541,0 ± 1.0 million years ago, ended 485,4 ± 1.9 million years ago).

“The deep sea eventually dried up and the surface was mountain where you can see these formations. Claystone (hard, stone-like clay rock) eventually “run down” and crumbled, leaving on the surface of the egg-shaped structure” – requires the office of the Bureau of Geology and mineral exploration of Guizhou province Wang Shangguan.

His colleague from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Professor Xu Runhua agree with such assumptions, but challenged the speculation Shangguan Wang, stating that the “egg” is formed from silicon dioxide. According to the Professor, before a similar phenomenon was observed in Sochi and Xinjiang in the North and North-West China.
