Fig. 6

a and b show volume renderings where only the nanolites were segmented, which occur as subspherical, isolated crystals as well as more irregular shaped aggregates. c and d show volume renderings where also the evolved, Fe-depleted glass around and between nanolites is segmented (highlighted in yellow). The segmentation of the nanolites, matrix glass and evolved boundary layer was performed based on visual inspection of the images and the estimates of ρe. All volume renderings were produced using VGStudio. In c, the rendering has a cut-away section to allow visualisation of the nanolites. The complete rendering is presented in the Supplementary Information (Supplementary Fig. 4).
