If a smaller and a larger sphere collided at just the right speed, you might get a ridge line where they joined, and the resultant object would not be spherical because the two spheres were different sizes. However it would have to be a fairly slow collision, otherwise the energy of collision would melt both bodies, and they would solidify as a perfect sphere.
Isn't a slow collision between two astronomical bodies oxymoronic?
Interesting observation Robin. Can it explain a 60,000 high foot wall too? Then there is the matter of what appear to large holes with a 90 degree corner. Hoagland's hyperdimentional paradigm of physics talks about a nested tetrahedron in a spherical body. Where the vortices of the tetrahedron intersect the sphere's surface, there will be anomalies, the details are linked from the main webpage. BTW, Hoagland has promised two additional papers on the subject.
BTW, thank you for correcting my word error, they go right through the spell checker.
