Hi Paul and all, Oddly enough I do keep copies of many of the U.S. wrong auctions going back about 7 or 8 years. Notable sellers of current suspect meteorites are listed here: http://meteorite-identification.com/updates.html
Although many claim to have found their wrong in a 'crater', this is the largest and best photo of an eBay craterwrong. BTW, I would like to talk to the buyer If anyone knows who won this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310205380871 Best wishes, ken On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Paul H. <oxytropidoce...@cox.net> wrote: > In http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2010-March/062531.html , > Murray Paulson wrote: > > “Did any of you notice that the crater looks kind of fresh, but the > "meteorite" looks far from fresh, more likely hundreds of years old?” > > The picture is at: > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=180483766353 > > The “rim” of this hole is too high and complete to be a tree throw. > Given that this hole is found in Nevada, I would hypothesize that it > is a historic or modern prospect pit dug by someone looking for > minable mineral deposits.
