Greetings Don and all,
I checked out your site and enjoyed reading your step by step on ebay buying.
Wish you would include me on your site. I've only been selling for 22
years now.

The Weston auction is no more.The seller ended the listing early and
cancelled all bids.
I would imagine that those of us listees who reported the auction (or
approached the seller) must have had a little something to do with it!
The last two bidders, whether they realize it or not, owe
Hi Greg all,
I'm a little surprised to see any of these slices still available. I jumped
on Greg's offer several weeks ago when he first offered them and I must say
that I was not disappointed! It's a gorgeous meteorite and they are quite
highly polished slices with great surface to weight
Bravo! Well done to all those who participated in this effort!/d

Interesting. You are right that Google Earth is of little use and flashearth is
worse but I found some uploaded pictures to Google Earth and this one shows
what appears to either be a sink hole or a crater. But it doesn't look like the
same one as in your link:
They find a crater on a volcano and quickly suggest that it was an
impact crater?...
Come on! That's like finding basalt in a caldera and claiming its a
martian meteorite.
