EPISODIC DEPOSITION OF Mn MINERALS IN COCKADE BRECCIA STRUCTURES IN THREE LOW-SULFIDATION EPITHERMAL DEPOSITS: A MINERAL STRATIGRAPHY AND FLUID-INCLUSION APPROACH
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mineralogical and fluid-inclusion studies have been conducted on Mn-rich breccias from three low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposits, Cirotan (Indonesia), Orcopampa (Peru) and Cavnic (Romania). In these deposits, the manganiferous minerals occur within cockade breccias that precede most of the deposition of sulfide. Cockade breccias consist of a lithic or sulfide nucleus, a few centimeters across, encrusted by several concentric envelopes that can be subdivided into three successive zones. Each zone may be composed of several stacked sequences of deposition. The Mn minerals are mainly clustered within the internal pinkish zone close to the nucleus, that also comprises quartz, "adularia" and sparse sulfides. Within this Mn mineral zone, each sequence begins with the deposition of Mn silicate, close to the rhodonite end-member (MnSiO3), that fully or partially grades into Mn carbonate, close to the rhodochrosite (MnCO3) end-member, before the deposition of the next sequence. The intermediate zone (the quartz–sulfide zone) consists of quartz–sulfide sequences, with minor Mn silicates. Each sequence begins with fine-grained quartz, indicating a high rate of nucleation, which becomes coarser grained and irregular at the end of the sequence. Chlorite and sulfides are associated with quartz at the end of this zone. The external zone of the cockades is characterized by comb quartz, associated with illite, calcite and, sparingly, manganoan dolomite. The mineralogical zonation illustrated by the cockades expresses a general evolution of the depositional process with time, with a progressive Mn-depletion and Ca-enrichment. No kutnohorite has been observed. Fluid inclusions from the three zones are all two-phase aqueous inclusions (L + V). The fluid salinities are similar in all the deposits and do not exceed 2.6 wt% NaCl eq., the final comb quartz from Orcopampa excepted. Two isenthalpic boiling events are recorded in relation with brittle deformation. The replacement of rhodonite by rhodochrosite revealed in each sequence of the Mn mineral zone could result in a temperature drop in relation to these boiling events, which release CO2 and increase pH.

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.
