more q's on the strangest piece of skyrock to ever hit the planet: about the metal first: it is obvious that it took some time for it to cool  because there is a nice crystal pattern it in. during the molten time, why didn't the stone chunx float out to the surface and cause a differentiated asteroid, w/ the rock on the surface, to form. is molten iron so less dense in that state that the stone could have perhaps been neutrally buoyant thus causing this consistant mix of rock and metal like chocolate in peanut butter? even if there is no gravity around , there is always buoyancy due to differences in densities. any comments.....
