Look up Iron oxidation, common phenomena above 980c in air, or at 600c with water, or with chlorides.
Ps. Iron micro-spheres would have been common in the world trade center fires from oxidized wiring, thin steels and other sources as well as some in the steam pipes held in solution in the steam that ran into the building for the heating system.
This is really boring Sizzler, because Jones is ignoring chemical reactions that can do what he claims at lower temperature then he claims.
PS. I have actually created thousands of macro and probably millions of micro-spheres just from fires, so what is so difficult about it the oxidation or reduction of the metals themselves can produce enough thermal energy to do everything Dr. Jones finds abnormal.
A large number of spheres could have actually been created prier to collapse, and then more during the collapse the important point is not melting temperature but oxidation, and reduction temperatures!

Entrap Hydrogen chloride gas with H2O in the vapor form, and not only do you get penetration of metals but oxidation of them at over 3000C.
This is freaking boring now been there done the experiments know the answers. HCl opens metals up to Oxygen, from water in the vapor phase, that leads to the release of hydrogen and hydrogen Embrittlement, or the combustion of hydrogen at the metal oxygen interface.
Been there done that, Dr. Jones is way behind in his research now.
