Thank you all who responded. To recap and sum this up, would it be fair to say that a mesosiderite is material from the crust-mantle-core that has been violently mixed mush like oil and water that is rapidly shaken and almost instantly frozen? And is a Pallasite is material that is from the core-mantle boundary that is mixed, but frozen a little bit slower such that the bubbles of mantle material don't quite complete the separation back to the differentiated state?
I ask this because kids will want to know the difference between the two and I needed an answer that was not too complicated to give to them.
