Rather obvious evidence of life there, I'd say. Lunar dust looks nothing like it...

You know what? I never thought about that. Lunar dust is completely different in many ways, lots of jagged edges, very little smoothing and absolutely no sign of life. Lunar dust has obvious signs of being created by high velocity impacts. Of course, the lunar dust would have been made by grinding up larger rocks in NASA ACME rock grinder.

In an educational capacity, they offer a good stimuli and discussion, such as 'what do you think this picture is?' Great way to open a discussion about material science.
