Fortunately for us (if not so much for the worlds in question) The Ancients blew up a significant number of (formerly) Earth-like planets producing a number of thoroughly unnatural asteroid belts.
The science Anthony and Thrash mention as applying to asteroids untouched by the Ancients is ast least as borign and unhelpful as they imply.
The "geology" of these post-catastrophe asteroid belts is the same as that of the terrestriakl type worlds they used to be enlived by Ancint artifacts or at least semi-melted hyperdense battlearmor.
Remeber: all Traveller problems that can not be solved by Vilani conservatism can be solved by the Ancients!
