Evidence of Quartz, Feldspar and Amphibole Crystal Plastic Deformations in the Paleoproterozoic Nyong Complex Shear Zones Under Amphibolite to Granulite Conditions (West Central African Fold Belt, SW Cameroon)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Paleoproterozoic is characterised by a global-scale period of crust formation, extensive mafic to granitic magmatism, crustal reworking and intracrustal partial melting. Since a dramatic strength drop is associated with the presence of melt in crystallising or melting rocks, Paleoproterozoic continental deformation is thought to have been largely accommodated by shearing of high-grade gneisses and syntectonic granitoids. The Paleoproterozoic Nyong complex, which is made up of volumetrically dominant granitoids, metapelites and granitic gneisses, quartzites and banded iron formations; has been affected by the Eburnean/Transamazonian polyphase ductile and brittle deformation responsible of S1/2 foliation and S2 schistosity, L2 stretching and mineral lineations, F3 meso- and large-scale folds, S2/C3 structures and faults. Its shear zone strain anisotropies represent a natural laboratory to study the effect of crystal plastic deformation of felsic minerals and amphibole as predicted by numerical experiments and tectonic models. This paper describes the geometry of the deformation and focus on microstructural evidence of dynamic recrystallization features that were active under granulite conditions (>800 °C, >8.5 Kbar). These thermal conditions can be extended in similar Proterozoic worldwide shear zones.

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.
