EXSOLUTION OF ZIRCONIAN-HAFNIAN WODGINITE FROM MANGANOAN-TANTALIAN CASSITERITE, ANNIE CLAIM #3 GRANITIC PEGMATITE, SOUTHEASTERN MANITOBA, CANADA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Primary (Mn,Fe,Ta,Nb)-bearing cassiterite with ≤0.21 wt.% ZrO 2 and ≤0.05 wt.% HfO 2 crystallized during the consolidation of the Archean Annie Claim #3 zoned, lepidolite-subtype granitic pegmatite, southeastern Manitoba, in amounts increasing from the outer to the inner pegmatite zones. Rare inclusions of tantalite and ferrotapiolite originated from transient local saturation in these phases. Sparse early cassiterite from the outer intermediate zone is rather rich in substituting elements and in part Fe-dominant, whereas the more abundant late cassiterite from the lepidolite core is strongly Mn-dominant and poor in the substituents. Exsolution in the primary cassiterite generated granular zirconian-hafnian ferrowodginite and wodginite enclosed in veinlets of substituent-depleted cassiterite. The Fe/Mn and Nb/Ta values of the wodginite phases mimic those of the primary cassiterite across the pegmatite zones, and Zr/Hf perceptibly decreases from the outer zones inward. Maximum contents of ZrO 2 and HfO 2 (5.98 and 1.59 wt.%, respectively; 0.31 Zr and 0.04 Hf apfu ) are the highest so far encountered in wodginite-group minerals. These maxima characterize wodginite exsolved from early cassiterite; the levels drop off in wodginite exsolved in late cassiterite. Instead, hafnian zircon intergrown with abundant thorian coffinite becomes abundant in the lepidolite core, indicating a transition of Zr + Hf from octahedral sites in the oxide minerals to the much more common 8-fold coordination in the orthosilicate; this shift implies a transition from relatively alkaline to more acidic conditions.

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.
