Now that I've had a chance to look at the Ottawa, Ontario website (I
think you overloaded his server with your article!) and having been an
amateur paleontologist for around 30 years, I think he may well have a
point here in regards to some of these things being real fossils; I
thought it was very strange that most of the "Blueberries" seemed to be
approximately the same size, and his close-up of this one in particular:

Eh, approximately same size could be a factor of the geologic process.

For example the floating "stones" you can find in caves tend to average the
same size since the formation is of water with minerals hitting the surface
of a still body of water. The minerals continue to collect forming a flat
"platter" on the surface of the water until weight overcomes surface tension
and it sinks. Since the mineral mix is fairly constant, this happens when
they reach the same approximate size each time.

So, who knows.
