Thomas, Mendy and all, If it was listed under "coprolite" or any variation of the same, I would be equally offended. It should be listed under "rock" (allthough I don't disagree with the sentiment behind the "coprolite" label. "Guano" would also work). There's also an Apollo lunar listed that should create quite a stir if you have $1.5 million to spare. I don't even want to talk about the tektite lies and absurdities that are there every day. Ebay is an absolute tsunami of misinformation. In one cynical way, it is good for the legitimate market. If enough people get burned (and realize it---), it should bring business to those that offer honesty and integrity along with their specimensl Sadly, most buyers don't have the background to know they are being ripped off. I would like to help, but what can one do? Occassionally a seller offers thanks for a correction, but most are quite content with their fraud Buyer beware!
