Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Siluro-Devonian Fogo Island Batholith is a high-level, bimodal, sill-like unit about 7 km thick, intruded by a slightly younger, heterogeneous mafic unit. Stratigraphic evidence suggests emplacement of the batholith by raising of the roof without strong deformation of the host rocks. Large composite gabbro-microgranite dykes below the sill, intruded along axial planar cleavage, probably served as feeders. The upper 3– 4 km of the sill comprise homogeneous to slightly zoned, coarse, hastingsite-biotite granite. Ignimbrite sheets of similar composition above the sill suggest that the granite was emplaced beneath cover rocks no more than 1 km thick. The lower 3 km of the sill consist of heterogeneous, locally layered, mafic rocks. Metre-scale, non-intrusive sheets of contrasting composition mark the contact between the granitic upper and mafic lower part of the sill. A late influx of mafic magma disrupted older mafic rocks and hybridised with granite, producing complex, heterogeneous "diorite". The local presence of A-type compositions in the granitic portion of the batholith may reflect diffusion during this process. A model for emplacement of the batholith assumes crustal anatexis above mantle-derived, underplated mafic magma, followed by passive emplacement of composite magma along tensional fractures related to movements on the Dog Bay Line, a dextral terrane boundary. Later movements on this feature controlled emplacement of further batches of magma, and finally tipped the batholith about 25° to the north, producing its present configuration. RÉSUMÉ Le Batholithe siluro-dévonien de l'île Fogo forme une unité à l'aspect d'un filon-couche bimodale de niveau élevé et d'environ sept kilomètres d'épaisseur, dans laquelle fait intrusion une unité mafique hétérogène légèrement plus récente. Les observations stratigraphiques laissent supposer une mise en place du batholithe par soulèvement du toit sans déformation marquée des roches hôtes. Des dykes composites de gabbro-rhyolite de fortes dimensions au-dessous du filon-couche, ayant subi une intrusion le long de la schistosité de plan axial, ont probablement servi de voies de passage. Les trois à quatre kilomètres supérieurs du filon-couche sont constitués de granite à hastingsite-biotite grossier allant d'homogène à légèrement zoné. Des couches de tuf consolidé d'une composition semblable au-dessus du filon-couche permettent de supposer que la mise en place du granite s'est faite sous des roches de couverture d'au plus un kilomètre d'épaisseur. Les trois kilomètres inférieurs du filon-couche sont constitués de roches mafiques hétérogènes, localement stratifiées. Des nappes non intrusives de quelques mètres d'une composition différente marquent la zone de contact entre le sommet granitique et la base mafique du filon-couche. Un afflux tardif de magma mafique a perturbé les roches mafiques âgées et a entraîné une hybridation avec le granite, produisant des « diorites » hétérogènes complexes. La présence locale de compositions de type A dans la partie granitique du batholithe pourraient témoigner d'une diffusion au cours de ce processus. Un modèle de mise en place du batholite suppose une anatexie crustale au-dessus d'un magma mafique reposant sur des plaques et d'origine mantellique, suivie de la mise en place passive de magma composite le long de fractures de tension apparentées à des mouvements survenus le long de la ligne Dog Bay, une ligne de démarcation de terrane dextre. Des mouvements ultérieurs le long de cette ligne ont déterminé la mise en place d'autres mélanges de magma et ont finalement incliné le batholithe d'environ 25 degrés vers le nord, pour produire sa configuration existante.

Not 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.
