More uniform than random spheres
I agree with you completely on that one, [Bruce?]. In my post above, I think I did just call the distribution random, but it appears more even than random. I wrote a small Excel program that made random "berries". The results showed many more touching spheres than seem in Opportunity rocks of approximate equal sphere density. I started to add statistics to this program, but the difficulty was in getting data from an Opp image, not just creating comparisons. The official diagenetic explanation is all washed up, in my opinion.
