Scotland is actually littered with these sorts of things.

People are dumb.

Scotland is littered with shite? Hmmm. Step ootside Jimmy?

>Scotland is actually littered with these sorts of things.

Just Scotland? I wonder what the Scots have done to deserve this bombardment of half tonne rocks.

Maybe this one landing in Fukang is unusual in that respect then?

...but the postage fee would be a bitch (420kg!)

I'd rather go home empty handed from an auction than pay for crap, fossilised or not.

I guess whoever bought the dino-crap probably drinks the £50 a cup cat-crap coffee too.

Including a bit of the rock in the story: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-new-pallasite-FUKANG-meteorite-from-China_W0QQitemZ180237763091QQihZ008QQcategoryZ3239QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

"This piece is worth more than $250.00" Oh yeah, the price currently is $80, someone certainly has an overinflated sense of worth.

I'll give em a tenner for it, would make a conversation piece from the coffee table for sure

Right on!

I was hoping for some attempted canny rebuttal from our creationist friends, but perhaps they've located the second brain cell and moved on, or perhaps our lovely moderator has condemned them to the depths of the recycle bin.

Mr Greg Fleming Sir, if that's the case why not go find and sell the fukang things at $2m a pop? Surely knowing about them and not doing so is rather dumb as well!

still a hell of a lot less than the british tax payers paying for a somewhat less solid rock

eitherway you must be fukang insane to part with that kind of cash!

hexa

The power of crap
