Summary Report: 

The Klerksdorp spheres are metallic spherical objects, some with precise equatorial grooves and up to 10cm in diameter, that have been collected by miners and rockhounds from ~3 billion year old pyrophyllite deposits near Ottosdal, South Africa.

In 1979 an arcticle published by Barritt proposed these objects are of artificial origin, as had been researched and stated by Paul V Heinrich in 1996. Claims exist from various researchers as Barritt, M. Cremo, Brenda Sullivan, Roelf Marx (Curator of the Klerksdorp Museum) or Erich von Däniken, that these objects are an anomaly and of artificial origin deriving from an extinct civilization or even extra terrestrial aliens, crafted by unknown technology. Roelf Marx even stated that one of the spheres even levitated and rotated by itself.

On the other hand also scientific reports exists like from Pope & Cairncross, Paul V. Heinrich or Nel, who stated these objects are a product of a geological phenomenon after their analysis. Please read the provided link to the scientific report of Heinrich for your investigations and personal opinion of this case.

Both parties present facts or informations which cant be neglected and can be regarded as legit if you believe in the credibility of the sources.

Excerpt from the book “The Hidden History of the Human Race” in 1998 from M. A. Cremo & Richard I. Thompson:
GROOVED SPHERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Over the past several decades. South African miners have found hundreds of
metallic spheres, at least one of which has three parallel grooves running around its equator.
According to an article by J. Jimison, the spheres are of two types — “one of solid bluish
metal with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy
center.” Roelf Marx, curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where some of
the spheres are housed, said: “The spheres are a complete mystery. They look man-made,
yet at the time in Earths history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life
existed. Theyre nothing like I have ever seen before.”

We wrote to Roelf Marx for further information about the spheres. He replied in a
letter dated September 12, 1984: “There is nothing scientific published about the globes,
but the facts are: They are found in pyrophyllite, which is mined near the little town of
Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal. This pyrophyllite is a quite soft secondary mineral with
a count of only 3 on the Mohs scale and was formed by sedimentation about 2.8 billion
years ago. On the other hand the globes, which have a fibrous structure on the inside with a
shell around it, are very hard and cannot be scratched, even by steel.” The Mohs scale of
hardness is named after Friedrich Mohs, who chose ten minerals as references points for
comparative hardness, with talc the softest (1) and diamond the hardest (10).

In his letter to us, Marx said that A. Bisschoff, a professor of geology at the
University of Potchefstroom, told him that the spheres were “limonite concretions.”
Limonite is a kind of iron ore. A concretion is a compact, rounded rock mass formed by
localized cementation around a nucleus.

One problem with the hypothesis that the objects are limonite concretions concerns
their hardness. As noted above, the metallic spheres cannot be scratched with a steel point,
indicating they are extremely hard. But standard references on minerals state that limonite
registers only 4 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, indicating a relatively low degree of hardness.
Furthermore, limonite concretions usually occur in groups, like masses of soap bubbles
stuck together. They do not, it seems, normally appear isolated and perfectly round, as is
the case with the objects in question. Neither do they normally appear with parallel grooves
encircling them.

For the purposes of this study, it is the sphere with three parallel grooves around its
equator that most concerns us. Even if it is conceded that the sphere itself is a limonite
concretion, one still must account for the three parallel grooves. In the absence of a
satisfactory natural explanation, the evidence is somewhat mysterious, leaving open the
possibility that the South African grooved sphere — found in a mineral deposit 2.8 billion
years old — was made by an intelligent being.
