No mineral has a round and concave habit

Some people say I incorrectly identified minerals as red blood cells.
So, I quote Martill et al :
“…, as no diagenetic mineral has to date been reported with a
biconcave oblate spheroidal habit.” (note 1)

That habit is found only in red blood cells of mammals (note 2). It is
difficult to show biconcavity of particles embedded in meteorites. So,
I checked and found actually no mineral has a round and concave habit,
as shown in
Figure 1:

(note 3)

Please let me know if I was wrong.
