Herbert commented, "Higher in extra-terrestrial material than
any other meteorite???  Uuuups, I thought my meteorites are all
100% extra-terrestrial material. Does Tagish Lake get 110%...? ;-)"

I didn't save the original article, but I seem to recall that it
was extra-terrestrial carbon (or carbon compounds) that Tagish
had in greater abundance than all other carbonaceous chondrites.
But that doesn't excuse the use of the misleading words "extra-
terrestrial material" as a substitute for organic compounds.
