In A silicates (gray) are semi-transparent on a black background and unconnected sulfide-oxide assemblages and separate melt networks are white. The largest interconnected melt network (yellow) spans the entire subvolume with a maximum diameter of at least 690 µm. A closer view of an in situ cut-out of the same melt network (dashed box, B) shows that submicrometer melt veins (blue arrow) percolated between silicate grains to connect nearby sulfide-oxide complexes.
