Using thermochronometry and low‐temperature demagnetization to accurately date Precambrian paleomagnetic poles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dating magnetizations in Precambrian rocks is increasingly important in the attempt to unravel Precambrian plate configurations and supercontinent assemblages. We used low‐temperature demagnetization and modern thermochronometric methods to dissect a multicomponent magnetization of the Glamorgan Gabbro, Ontario, previously studied by Buchan and Dunlop [1976] and Berger and York [1981]. We found that the HbA component is a primary thermoremanent magnetization carried by single‐domain magnetite. The new paleomagnetic pole position (32.6°S latitude, 141.9°E longitude) is not significantly different from the published pole; however, the cooling history suggests that the 1015±15 Ma magnetization age is older than previously thought (980 Ma). The new age produces a better fit in Rodinia supercontinent reconstructions. The refined HbB pole (29.9°N latitude, 169.9°E longitude) is carried by multidomain‐type magnetite and pyrrhotite. A possible ∼175°C thermal event at ∼600 Ma recorded by K‐feldspar could be responsible for remagnetizing the multidomain grains. The new age for Hbß is 220 m.y. younger than the previous estimate, raising questions concerning the ages of similar poles from the Canadian Grenville Province.

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.
