The only fakes that I could find were listed here:

http://shop.ebay.com/oldschool-av/m.html?_nkw=meteorite&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3911.m270.l1313&_odkw=&_osacat=0

But they hardly look like meteorites at all - same goes for the rest
of the crap "oldschool-av" is selling. The oxide specimens to look
like oxide, but that's about it - even his impatite specimens are
crap.
Best to stay away from his auctions...
