Smaller Then Dust
According to new research studies, we are predicting that the earliest rocks in our Solar System are more similar to the pink and teal fluffy cotton candy rather then the rocks we know today. The study that was based on computer models and lab experiments gives new evidence that the first rocks were porous and fragile and during times of extreme turbulence was eventually cast into harder rocks that eventually made planets like earth. The effect of these rocks traveling thought billions of years of space is similar to a rock in a river taking the reverse effect and breaking up. The test subject being an asteroid fragment known as a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite that they assumed formed over larger time frame and the original pieces only being around a millimeter in size.
