Fig. 2

Fractures are shown in black and magnetite veins in blue. Both fractures and magnetite veins have curved, intersecting morphologies dominated by cuspate forms. Some magnetite veins are cut by fractures; others are subparallel. Lines have been added to emphasize the 3D shape and intersection of features. a and b show fractures, while c and d also include magnetite veins. a and c are projected from the left, while b and c are projected from the front.
