Hi Martin and list, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the pictures of this DaG 476. My slice (20x30mm) and many others pieces (today at the NHM Bern!) of real DaG 476 I saw, did not at all look like the one on ebay.

Hi List! I would say that it is not DaG 476 as I know pretty precise what this material looks like.

Re: [meteorite-list] Doubtful DaG476 on ebay..
Hi Peter and list! There is no special part of the DaG 476 that looks like that that I know of. Further I think the picture quality is sufficient enough to say that it is not DaG 476.

Re: [meteorite-list] Doubtful DaG476 on ebay..
Martin and others, As you all can see, this is not a huge slice of DaG 476. It looks more like a porophyritic basalt from earth of course. It is not a Mars shergottite, nor an earthly gabbro. Based on the size of the piece when compared to the dime, it is about 4 cm x 3 cm...which would make it about 20 to 30 grams in weight. So at a minimal price of $200/g this piece would be worth about $4,000 to $6,000 (four to six thousand dollars and probably more from most dealers). So starting it at a $10 bid would be huge risk to say the least. Bottom line...this is earth rock and fraud for against our hobby. Below is a link to Eric Twelker's site and his 22 gram piece is listed for $8,500. Now that is what DaG 476 looks like. http://www.alaska.net/~meteor/DAG476.htm I will contact Ken and see how he wants to handle this...in the mean time I'll send the high bidder a note telling him what it is, and is not.

Hi David, Actually he did NOT copy the text from your web site. He copied the header and first three paragraphs verbatim from Erich's web site: http://www.mars.li/DaG476.htm Erich copied his web site from yours!
