Hello Jeff and List,

To the best of my knowledge Forrest 028 is still classified as
an L7 chondrite (shock stage: S5; weathering category: C).

Furthermore, there are between 12 and 15 Antarctic L7 chondrites:

FRO 90008 - FRO 90009 - FRO 90020 - FRO 90034 - FRO 90058
FRO 90062 - FRO 90065 - FRO 90066 - FRO 90084 - FRO 90089
FRO 90134 - FRO 90147 - LEW 88663 - PAT 91501 - Yamato 82088

Best regards,

Bernd
