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.

Please note mammalian red blood cells range from 3 to 20 (in the case
of dinosaurs) microns in diameters.

I searched Google for "round and concave mineral" and found no such
mineral as per this link:

Difference between RBC and vesicles

Figure 1 below compares a fossilized red blood cell (found in
meteorite ALH84001) with vesicles found in volcanic ash.
