Texas is 500 miles across. Figure out how much mass your planet fragment has. If it's Vesta or more, it all collapses into a ball. And Vesta's too small to have an atmosphere, too. | |

What if the fragment is small as the size of Texas or Alaska and is composed mostly of granite or strong rock, will it still fall down and land on the core? The depth of the fragment doesn't have to go all way to the core of original planet like your image suggest. | |
