Geology of the Chatham Sound region, southeast Alaska and coastal British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Coast Mountains orogen is thought to have formed as a result of accretion of the Alexander and Wrangellia terranes against the western margin of the Stikine and YukonTanana terranes, but the nature and age of accretion remain controversial. The Chatham Sound area, which is located along the west flank of the Coast Mountains near the Alaska British Columbia border, displays a wide variety of relations that bear on the nature and age of the boundary between inboard and outboard terranes. Geologic and UPb geochronologic studies in this area reveal a coherent but deformed and metamorphosed sequence of rocks belonging to the YukonTanana terrane, including pre-mid-Paleozoic marble, schist, and quartzite, mid-Paleozoic orthogneiss and metavolcanic rocks, and upper Paleozoic metaconglomerate and metavolcanic rocks. These rocks are overlain by Middle Jurassic volcanic rocks (Moffat volcanics) and Upper Jurassic Lower Cretaceous strata of the Gravina basin, both of which also overlie Triassic and older rocks of the Alexander terrane. This overlap relationship demonstrates that the Alexander and Wrangellia terranes were initially accreted to the margin of inboard terranes during or prior to mid-Jurassic time. Accretion was apparently followed by Late Jurassic Early Cretaceous extensiontranstension to form the Gravina basin, left-slip along the inboard margin of AlexanderWrangellia, mid-Cretaceous collapse of the Gravina basin and final structural accretion of the outboard terranes, and early Tertiary dip-slip motion on the Coast shear zone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
