Abstract
We present a new multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (MC-ICP-MS) method for measuring isotopic ratios of 234U/238U and 230Th/232Th in volcanic rocks using the Thermo Fisher Neptune. Uranium isotope measurements using SRM U010 as bracketing standard produce agreement within several permil for NBL 112A, REMP-18, as well as for equilibrium rock standards. We also demonstrate that uranium standards are not appropriate for correcting thorium isotopic measurements due to differences between U and Th in both mass bias and mass-dependent ion transmission. Use of the thorium synthetic standard, UCSC ThA, as a bracketing standard produces data that agree well with ‘accepted values’ for other synthetic Th isotope standards and equilibrium rock standards.

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 it
