Abstract
Magnetic spherules were systematically collected and investigated from Pleistocene terrestrial sediment in Southern Hungary. By the chemical analysis: Fe, Fe(Mn), Fe(Ni) and glassy (silicate) spherules can be distinguished. Some of them have characteristic feature suggested extraterrestrial origin: Ni-bearing crust, Ni-rich core and especially platinum group nuggets with unique chemical composition. Their formation can be a meteorite ablation process.
