The ones we found on the nullabour years ago were shaped similar to buttons called ablated tektites. Apparently they don't spin or rotate much as they enter the atmosphere & they end up looking like a little Apollo re-entry vehicle....the re-entry face ends up domed. They come in slower as there's a fair bit of atmospheric drag.
