Hi Ken and List,

   If you have time check out this eBay auction Item # 1085374738, 1st page,
"Newly Found by Novice 8# meteorite from NV/AZ", continuing:

   "Sorry but I am not a person who deals in this type of commodity. I just
happned to find it and was suprised at the weight of the rock and decided to
keep it and found out through investigation and the opinion of two colleage
geologists that it was a meteorite. It is very magnetic and measures about
six inches across and about 3 1/2" tall. I was told to have a piece sliced
off for further study at UCLA but decided that I would try to sell it whole
and leave that part of the study to the new owner. As I stated I have the
opinion of two geogoligists, but it would have to be given a more detailed
study to know for sure. I am hoping someone will know exactly what it is and
from where it came from. Please e-mail if you need any aditional information
or pictures..thanks for considering my auction. E-mail address
cutsing_at_citlink.net This is a five day auction."

  It doesn't look like a meteorite in some of the pix, especially the one
with a molten layer look.

Sincerely,
Greg Redfern
