[meteorite-list] Fredricksburg TX Sold As Plymouth IN On eBay

[JoshuaTreeMuseum]

Yeah I know it's beating a dead horse and all, but I think I've solved the 
mystery of the fake Plymouth meteorite that was sold by Bob Evans on eBay 
awhile back.  Check out his Fredricksburg Tx he's been selling recently:

You can check his completed auctions to see pictures of other slices. They 
go for around  $10 a gram.

This looks very similar to what he was advertising on the list awhile back 
as Plymouth. It was sold at $185 a gram.

Note the sloppy saw job on both slices.  The Neumann lines on both specimens 
look similar.  Not that you would see Neumann lines like this on the 
Plymouth, you would expect a Widdmanstatten pattern. Does anyone else think 
these are pieces of the same meteorite?  Anne?  Anyone?

I know this issue is yesterday's cold mashed potatoes to most list members, 
but not to those who  trusted Bob as a fellow list member and were conned by 
his misrepresentations.

In the words of the immortal Ernest T. Bass:  Those who ain't lookin', 
sometimes get tooken!
