Hi Ray nice picture. It looks a lot like Temple1,or Mars Moons. Someday
a smart guy is going to figure out why these Manhattan size rocks are
shaped like Idaho potatoes. Beert

That one looks to me as though it could be two asteroids that came
together but not in an explosive sort of way but more of a slow coming
together. Then again most if not all of these asteroids must have had a
pretty bumpy ride in the early solar system, lots of crashes and impacts
which may result in some of the peculiar shapes.
