In fact he is so well know Randy Korotev has give him his own page; http://meteorites.wustl.edu/meteorwrongs/m239.htm It is too bad some one possibly bought a piece of his garbage; http://cgi.ebay.com/LUNAR-METEORITE-OLIVINE-GABBRO-64-4-GRAM-SLICE-NICE_W0QQitemZ350001108996 Hard to be sure though as the sellers ID is kept secret. How about this auction of his. Is it an Imilac? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350114894419 BTW I am going to block him from bidding on any of my Ebay auctions.
