 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 3, Ch. 22, Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Melena typically indicates upper GI bleeding, but a small-bowel or right colon bleeding source may also be the cause.
About 100 to 200 mL of blood in the upper GI tract is required to produce melena, which may continue for several days after severe hemorrhage and does not necessarily indicate continued bleeding.
Hematemesis, hematochezia, or melena should be considered an emergency until proven otherwise.

 total colectomy - another question - significance of melena
I have recently read that melena is/are formed as a result of intestinal blood releases interacting with the digestive juices/processes.

 Tarry Stool (Melena)
Melena usually stems from bleeding high in the digestive tract, most commonly from the stomach or upper intestine (duodenum).
Less often, melena results from bleeding in the small intestine or upper parts of the colon.
