Liller 1 and Terzan 5 aren't globular clusters?

Actually I've long suspected that the distinction between globular clusters and relics of dwarf galaxy mergers might well be an artificial one. Nature might indeed have them be the same in origin.

Bulge Fossil Fragments? I wonder if there are any more out there.

Likely so. Also halo fossil fragments, why not? I suspect that the more we learn about globular clusters the more likely any distinction between the formation of a globular cluster and a fossil fragment will look artificial. Already several globular clusters are known to have supported several generations of star formation.
