Fraudulent fossil's | Collectibles & Art

Just want to warn anybody looking for vertebrate fossils that there is a seller peddling chunks of concrete and garden stones as rare and authentic vertebrate fossils. The so-called fossils, meteorites, and artifacts, are nothing more than common rocks, sometimes with unusual shapes at best. I've been in the fossil and mineral collecting hobby for over 30 years and have seen this kind of thing crop up from time to time. Unfortunately, eBay has no way of dealing with these people clearly taking advantage of the less experienced. So, just to let those who might question this sellers validity know, nothing he sells is authentic. If you value your hard earned cash, I would not trust this individual. For the record, I've not purchased anything from this person. I just came across his rocks while looking for legitimate fossils, and couldn't believe the audacity that someone would be selling people chunks of concrete for sometimes $100+.
