Re: [meteorite-list] OT: For the Geologists and Math Wizards!

If the two combine as some sort of conglomerate (like a breccia), and the combination doesn't result in voids, then the bulk density can't be lower than the density of the lowest density material. But if the two combine chemically, resulting in an alloy or in the formation of different minerals

Hi all! I have a question that relates to meteorites...sort of. If I have two minerals that are combined that have two different densities, could the bulk density ever be lower the density of the mineral with the lowest density? Examples (to make it easy) Mineral 1 = 3g/cc Mineral 2 = 15
