Abstract
Rocks metamorphosed to high temperatures and/or high pressures are rare across the Himalayan orogen, where peak metamorphic conditions recorded in the exposed metamorphic core, the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS), are generally at middle to upper amphibolite facies. However, mafic garnet‐clinopyroxene assemblages exposed at the highest structural levels in Bhutan, eastern Himalaya, preserve patchy textural evidence for early eclogite‐facies conditions, overprinted by granulite‐facies conditions. Monazite hosted within the leucosome of neighboring granulite‐facies orthopyroxene‐bearing felsic gneiss yields LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS U‐Th‐Pb ages of 13.9 ± 0.3 Ma. Monazite associated with sillimanite‐grade metamorphism in granulite‐hosting migmatitic gneisses yields U‐Th‐Pb rim ages between 15.4 ± 0.8 Ma and 13.4 ± 0.5 Ma. Monazite associated with sillimanite‐grade metamorphism in gneiss at structurally lower levels yields U‐Pb rim ages of 21–17 Ma. These data are consistent with Miocene exhumation of GHS material from a variety of crustal depths at different times along the Himalayan orogen. We propose that these granulitized eclogites represent lower crustal material exhumed by tectonic forcing over an incoming Indian crustal ramp and that they formed in a different tectonic regime to the ultrahigh‐pressure eclogites in the western Himalaya. Their formation and exhumation in the Miocene therefore do not require diachroneity in the timing of the initial India‐Asia collision.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
