Bechar 001
History
Name: Bechar 001
Location: Algeria
Type: Olivine-Hypersthene Chondrite L5
This meteorite was found before August 1998. 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 gram piece (now called Bechar 002) was
higher in metal than the main masses and therefore was not paired.
This meteorite was published in the Meteoritical Society Bulletin No. 83
