A Palladian-melonite (Pd-mel) inclusion in interstitial pyrrhotite (po) bleb in an orthopyroxene (opx) cumulate from the Isola Sill; B Pt-Pd-bearing melonite in interstitial pyrrhotite-pentlandite (pn) bleb from Sella Bassa; C Palladian-melonite in chalcopyrite (cpy) vein with minor sphalerite (sph) from amphibole (amp)-bearing cumulate from Sella Bassa; D Cluster of moncheite (mon) grains and sperrylite (sp) with chalcopyrite altered to tremolite (trm) from an amphibole-rich cumulate from Sella Bassa; E Au-Ag alloy associated with cobaltian pentlandite (Co-pn) in a chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite vein from Sella Bassa.
