The Prospect Rock thrust: western limit of the Taconian accretionary prism in the northern Green Mountain anticlinorium, Vermont
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents evidence for an early Taconian, west-directed fault in northern Vermont, the Prospect Rock thrust, which represents the trace of the contact between the Taconian oceanic accretionary prism (Dunnage Zone) and less allochthonous, continental margin rocks (Humber Zone). Mapping at 1 : 24 000 over the last decade has led to reassessment of units within the Camels Hump Group, resulting in newly defined lithotectonic packages: the Green Mountain slice and the Prospect Rock slice. Rocks in these slices may be of similar age, but those in the Green Mountain slice were originally deposited as more proximal sediments and remained on the Humber side of the sub duction zone, whereas those in the Prospect Rock slice were transferred by underplating to the accretionary prism. Both slices contain ultramafics. Motion on the Prospect Rock thrust (D1) preceded Taconian garnet-grade metamorphism and subsequent east-directed back-folding. However, D1 structures were diachronous across the orogen. Late Taconian (D2) structures record a change from east-verging back-folds in northern Vermont and southern Quebec to west-verging folds farther south. The Prospect Rock thrust does not correspond exactly to Cameron's line nor to the Baie Verte Brompton line as originally defined. However, our understanding of the geometry of the Prospect Rock thrust demonstrates that the Dunnage Zone extends farther west than previously recognized and may also explain features farther to the east.

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.
