Re: "NEW" DAG489 Mars rock. At a 15% Discount to.

I saw the same article listing it as the 14th martian meteorite, but i
believe that was before there was conclusive evidence that it was paired
with Dag 476.  As i was asking in my first post, i was thinking that there
is now conclusive evidence that it is with Dag 476, which it is.  If a
person went back to the original place that Zagami fell, found a fragment of
zagami there, would that make it a new 15th Mars meteorite?  Or if i went to
Meteor Crater and found piece of Canyon Diablo, would that make it a "new
iron"?  Just some food for thought, but i honestly think that if people knew
that it was just a piece of Dag 476, a very weathered piece of Dag 476, they
wouldn't be so quick to buy it, and that is why its being marketed as a NEW
14th martian meteorite with no mention of Dag 476.  But it is also a buyers
responsibility to do some research.

>Yes, I am offering DAG489 on eBay (As well as on my website:

sell

>SINCE I WANT TO HELP EVERYBODY COMPLETE THEIR MARS COLLECTION I AM GOING TO
>OFFER A 15% DISCOUNT TO READERS OF THIS LIST FOR ANY DAG476 or DAG489
>PURCHASED FROM MY WEBSITE FROM NOW UNTIL TUESDAY. (www.meteoriteshop.com).
>You will get the one that you ordered. No substituting DAG476 for DAG489 or
