so they must be fairly solid. Don't know how you can plausibly contend they might be loosely packed togeter.

As to Gypsum, it's nearly 80% calcium sulphate which has a melting point of over 1400 celcius so your point is specious. You can't sinter something based upon only 20% material melting at low temps.

The big piece of concrete has the appearance of igneous rock. Everthing in these pics speaks to high temps.
