zinc likes to bind to sulfur, and cobalt likes to bind to iron-nickel. both of them prefer to sink below oxygen binding elements to the earth's core (same goes for everything else above barium except Zr, Mo)). on top of that, even-numbered elements are more stable and more common in the universe, so less cobalt despite a lot of iron
