Three specimens from the pristine suite of the Tagish Lake meteorite, showing variability in texture, from relatively chondrule‐rich (specimen 5b, upper left) to chondrule‐poor (specimen 11i, right) to intermediate (specimen 11h, lower left). The textural variation is due to differences in petrographic character, as described by Blinova et al. (this issue); differences in organic matter correlate with the textural variation (Alexander et al. and Hilts et al., this issue), providing insights into parent body processing. Specimens from the University of Alberta Meteorite Collection (MET11611/P−5b, −11i and −11h). Scale bar applies to all three images. Photography by C. D. K. Herd and R. K. Herd.
