Geochemistry of Carboniferous peralkaline felsic volcanic rocks, central New Brunswick, Canada: examination of uranium potential
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Felsic volcanic rocks from the ca. 335 Ma Cumberland Hill Formation of southern New Brunswick consist of peralkaline rhyolite and trachyte. These rocks are interpreted to have undergone extensive fractional crystallization from an alkali basaltic magma, although their different geochemical signatures indicate that the rhyolite was not derived from the trachyte via continuous fractional crystallization. The rhyolite is highly enriched in incompatible trace elements including uranium (up to ca. 20 ppm). Cumberland Hill peralkaline rhyolite suggests that a potentially economic source of uranium exists in the basin, based on the elevated uranium concentrations and high potential for remobilization into surrounding sedimentary units. RÉSUMÉ Les roches volcaniques felsiques de la Formation de Cumberland Hill, au sud du Nouveau-Brunswick, dont l’origine remonte à quelque 335 Ma se composent de rhyolite et de trachyte hyperalcalines. On estime que ces roches ont subi une cristallisation fractionnée intense à partir d’un magma de basalte alcalin, même si leurs diverses signatures géochimiques indiquent que la rhyolite n’est pas issue de la trachyte par un processus permanent de cristallisation fractionnée. La rhyolite est fortement enrichie d’éléments traces incompatibles, au nombre duquel se trouve de l’uranium (concentration qui peut atteindre environ 20 ppm). Si l’on se fie aux fortes concentrations d’uranium et à la grande possibilité de remobilisation dans les unités sédimentaires environnantes, la présence de la rhyolite hyperalcaline dans la Formation de Cumberland Hill porte à croire que le bassin pourrait contenir une source d’uranium vraisemblablement rentable.[Traduit par la redaction]

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.
