Note that the rays from the impacts match no known class of asteroid, period.

They lay on the surface, and are not an exposed sub-surface, period.

Now gravity is going to favor a perfectly spherical distribution of material, period.

But if the accretion pattern favors one area....

the volatiles will outgas after a short while...

metals migrate downward...

the ooze flows? or do pressures cause a sub-surface collapse?
