Archean U-Pb isotope age of zircon from dunite of the Nizhny Tagil massif (the Uralian Platinum Belt)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Material identity of dunite from zoned-type massifs of the Aldan shield (Kondyor, Chad and others) and dunite “cores” from the Uralian Platinum Belt (i.e., UPB) allows considering them as blocks of ancient material, which have the platform nature, integrated into complex structure of the UPB. In order to provide more clarity in the proposed hypothesis, grains of zircon from dunite of the Nizhny Tagil massif, an undisputable example of a zoned Uralian-type clinopyroxenite-dunite complex, genetically not connected to gabbro, have been studied by methods of isotope geology. Grains of zircon are represented by crystals and their fragments in the size range from 70 up to 170 microns long with length to width ratios from 1.3 up to 1.6. Parameters of U-Th-Pb isotope system were measured using sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe SHRIMP-II at 11 local areas of 8 crystals. Results for studied zircons in concordia diagram 207 Pb/ 235 U- 206 Pb/ 238 U define three statistically different age clusters, i.e., 585 ± 29, 1608 ± 56 and about 2655 million years, accordingly. We presume that the Late Archean age cluster characterize time of dunite generation in a subcontinental mantle. Presence of three discrete age clusters, along with morphological variety of zircons and 232 Th/ 238 U values in an interval 0.071–1.692, together with already existing geological facts, reflect prolonged evolution of the dunite in complex geochemical and geodynamic conditions, supporting the conclusion about autonomy of the dunite “cores” in the structure of the UPB.

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.
