Definitely it's not the same material. Very few moroccan dealers have
got this material because this meteorite fell at the north of
Marrakech. This region is very far from the Erfoud region and the
Sahara desert. More of them were very afraid by the authorities
reactions and don't go to the strewnfield to recover some material. If
you think Benguerir it's the same material that Bensour, perhaps have
you purchased a piece of Bensour for Benguerir?

All the best,
Philippe
