I'm pretty much over meteor-wrongs being posted to the list
but I stumbled across this one and had a good chuckle.

My favourite bits are:
"It still has a slight smell of being burnt." after
supposedly being found
So why doesn't someone tell him to quit feeding his dog oatmeal cookies?

So much for those $20.00 nickel tests sold on
ebay that the finder used.
The finder is ALSO the ebay SELLER of those nickel tests kits!
Thank you very much for this valuable info.
Best,

Dear List Members,
After a long afternoon and evening at the
Meteorwrongs?
Know the source, know the source, know the source...
And when in doubt...
Get specimens only from reputable dealers, who can
back up their claims with adequate testing.
This message must be presented to a gullible public
as, or if, they become interested in collecting
meteorites.

Dave had said why doesn't he quit feeding his dog oatmeal cookies?
Hi Dave, Jeff and List,
I'll tell you what...when I saw the meteorrite and read the
description info., I was ready to offer to run him up a large bag of
dogfood, out of pocket expense, if he'd just promice NOT to sell anymore
I have been following the eBay auctions for meteorite
petrologic slides... and I am appalled.
What is happening there with these new guys?
Standard petrologic slides for any rock section is:
1 13/16 x 1 1/16 x .062
I've see some 1 x 3 and then worse still, those that
are standard sized but
9 matches
