<P>I don't think it's a diamond.
<P>Two reasons:
<BR>1. Isaac was able to reshape it. Diamond is the hardest substance know to man. There should be no way a probe should be able to make a cube out of a crude diamond.
<P>2. Diamond is ALL carbon. The nitrogen could be an impurity, I suppose, but how could a probe analyze something like a diamond for such minute imperfection?
<P>Could the &quot;round&quot; be a volcanic crater? That might explain the vitrification.
