[meteorite-list] Harvard experts debunk meteorite discovery inExeter

[Michael Gilmer]

This sounds like one of those cases that squanders scientific time and
resources.  Two different universities have already rendered negative
opinions of the specimen, but the finder won't take "no" for an
answer.  He'll keep shopping it around until he finds an "expert" who
finally says it's a meteorite.  After UNH and Harvard have rejected
it, and once this Arizona authority also rejects it, his next stop
will be at a local community college where an economics professor will
finally say it's a meteorite.  Then the rock will end up on eBay with
an opening bid of $744,000.
