The present study describes Martian ooids formed by Martian
microbes. NASA’s Mars Rover Curiosity discovered plentiful indigenous spherical
ooids at High Dune and Namib Dune in Bagnold dune field, Gale Crater, Mars. The
spherical Martian ooids contain nuclei and range from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm in
diameter. Colors of the spherical Martian ooids are various, including white,
yellow translucent, green, gray, and yellow. The spherical Martian ooids should
have been formed by microbes, because 1) ooids of Earth have recently been
found to be formed by microbes and 2) microbial borings are found in ooids of
Earth and of Mars. There is no evidence that proves ooids are formed by
agitated water.
