A test of detailed Nd isotope mapping in the Grenville Province: delineating a duplex thrust sheet in the KipawaMattawa region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Over sixty new neodymium model ages were determined on orthogneisses from the KipawaMattawa region of the Grenville Province to refine previous Nd isotope mapping work in this area. The combined Nd data sets support a tectonic model involving three major thrust sheets in the Kipawa area, separated by major shear zones. The uppermost sheet is correlated with the Allochthonous Polycyclic Belt, represented in the study area by the Lac Watson nappe, along with two allochthonous klippen. These have Nd model ages < 1.8 Ga, consistent with previous work. Within the underlying Parautochthonous Belt, previous workers identified a second major shear zone, separating rocks with Archean and Proterozoic crystallization ages, respectively. These two thrust sheets also have distinct Nd isotope signatures. The lowermost sheet consists of metamorphosed but otherwise relatively pristine Archean crust with Nd model ages > 2.6 Ga, whereas the overlying sheet consists of magmatically reworked Archean parautochthon with model ages from 1.82.6 Ga. A residual magnetic-field map developed from aeromagnetic data was compared with the terrane boundaries determined from isotopic data. The aeromagnetic data accurately reflect the margin of relatively pristine Archean crust in the study area, but this boundary does not correspond to the Allochthon Boundary Thrust. Instead, this boundary resulted from downcutting of the basal shear zone of the allochthon. This caused décollement of the strongly reworked Archean parautochthon to generate a duplex thrust sheet that was transported northwestwards over pristine Archean crust.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
