I've never heard of 'jacketed sulphur pellets' around the alleged site of Sodom & Gomorrah. Very interesting. I'd like to know more.
Are these anything like the jacketed depleted uranium shells the US Airforce uses to pierce the armor on tanks?
I suppose God could have used depleted uranium if He wanted to--but God knows jacketed sulphur pellets were probably enough to destroy the rock huts of that rabble in Sodom and Gomorrah.
The sulphur pellets are fairly small - about the size of a golf ball as I remember. The core is pure sulphur with an outher jacket or casing that I'm not sure about the makeup of.. The interesting thing about them is that they burn so hot, they are found imbedded into solid rock that they melted their way into as it were.

There used to be some pretty good shots of these posted at Wyatt's website. I found a few.
I don't know if the casing is a result of impacting something or not. It's just something I remembered seeing in other photos.
I think the numbers I remember seeing are that most sulphur deposits are in the range of 30-40 percent pure. These pellets are 95 plus percent pure and burn at 5000 to 6000 degrees. Very nasty little buggers as it were. My understanding is that they produce ash that is denser than normal - heavier. And looking at the remains of Gamorah, that isn't tough to believe.
Here's another link with more info. This one includes some discussion of the jackets I mentioned. Also notes that the purity is higher than I remembered and that Magnesium is present in the makeup of these things.
