Hello
I want ask about TKW of Benguerir.
We know that many pieces of Ben Guerir was recovered by scientists from
Marrocan University/Museum.

>From Met Bulletin:
TKW 25-30kg,
main mass, Oakes. Some other pieces are in the Moroccan CNRST

So my question is:
TKW contain only specimens collected by Maroccans + Oakes main mass or only
Maroccans or mayb its aproximatelly value of complete fall, including
specimens hidden in basement by local people and dealers ?

My next question is what is TAW (Total Available Weight) of this fall. How
many kilos from TKW is in market or/and dealers/collectors hands and how
many closed in Morocco museums ?

I know this should be difficult to answer, but Im just curious, and maybe we
can exchange some interesting informations.
