If allowance is made for the random thermal velocities of the massive neutrinos, the density of the gaseous (baryon) component (rho-b) will dominate the neutrino density (rho-nu) in the central part of a primordial 'pancake' (rho-b greater than rho-nu), even though on the average rho-b is much less than rho-nu. Hence the fragmentation of a gaseous pancake and the subsequent agglomeration of the fragments into galaxies and groups of galaxies will be controlled by the velocity distribution and self-gravity of the gaseous component. Neutrino capture by the aggregating clouds would account for the missing mass. Galaxy clusters, on the contrary, would develop from perturbations embracing complete neutrino-gaseous pancakes, so that the initial density ratio of the neutrino and gaseous components would be restored. The earliest pancakes probably formed at redshifts z = 5-8.
