Here is the entry from the Meteoritical Bulletin: Bechar 001 - L5 Two large stones (39 kg and 12 kg) plus a number of small fragments were sold to Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut by nomads. They later recognized that an 18 g piece (now called Bechar 002) was higher in metal than the main masses, and therefore was not paired. Classification and mineralogy (P. Sipiera, Harper). Bechar 001: Olivine Fa25.3; pyroxene Fs20. Specimens: type specimens, 140 g (Bechar 001) DuPont; main masses, Fectay (Met.Bull 83, 1999, July, A169). Bechar 002 - H6 Two large stones (39 kg and 12 kg) plus a number of small fragments were sold to Bruno Fectay and Carine Bidaut by nomads. They later recognized that an 18 g piece (now called Bechar 002) was higher in metal than the main masses, and therefore was not paired. Classification and mineralogy (P. Sipiera, Harper). Bechar 002: Olivine Fa18.5; pyroxene Fs16.4Wo1.4. Specimens: type specimens, 15 g (Bechar 002), DuPont; main masses, Fectay (Met.Bull 83, 1999, July, A169).
