Doesn’t 10,000 tons sound a little high for a rock 45 ft. across? I don’t know how to do the math to determine the density for that. Yet they say it wasn’t ‘dense’ like nickel or iron.

In my day job I deliver concrete, at one cubic yard its about 4,000 lbs. So a rock of 45 feet across would be about how many cubic yards?

10,000 tons is roughly the same as a WWII cruiser, and a bit more than a modern Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer. At 45' across it had to be dense as all hell ...
