Australian geologist, then head of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne, who sued Allen Roberts and Ark Search under the Trade Practices Act over their Ark claims.
2 disputed
New Scientist reported that Justice Sackville found some of Allen Roberts' Ark claims were false but ruled his activities were not "trade or commerce", rejecting Plimer's complaint; Fasold was awarded A$2,500 over a copied diagram.
David Fasold returned to the site with Australian geologist Ian Plimer and concluded the formation was not a boat, suggesting ancient people had mistaken it for the Ark.
