I have a picture of the Salles specimen in Alain Carion's collection, I wish I could post it here. And no it does not look at all like the one in this picture. |

the photo specimen has more of an amphoterite (LL) look |

The 5th edition of the Catalogue of Meteorites (2000) still lists it as an H6 chondrite (veined; black) but Rochette P. et al. (2003) classify it as an L5: ROCHETTE P. et al. (2003) Magnetic classification of stony meteorites: 1. Ordinary chondrites (MAPS 38-02, 2003, 251-268). |

I changed the classification to L5. |

and it fell most certainly on March 8, 1798 (12 march is official date but is false - see my book for additional details) |

I am not familiar with Salles, but the description is incorrect. It is not an L7, it is an L5. |

strange, doesn't look like any Salles specimens I saw (MNHN Paris, Ecole des Mines Paris, private collectors).
Are you sure of provenance of this specimen ? |
