It isn't just meteorites, though-- it is anything that can turn a profit on Ebay but can be sold by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. Another sample that is close to my interests-- a search for "flexicalymene" gives 10 trilobites that really are species in the genus Flexicalymene-- and 30 that are not. I'm sure that everyone else could come up with examples to misuse (either intentionally or out of ignorance) from other areas of interest. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
