Yarlung Zangbo ophiolites (Southern Tibet) revisited: geodynamic implications from the mineral record
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present mineral chemistry data and petrological evidence from the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone ophiolites (Southern Tibet) suggesting that they represent a collage of heterogeneous massifs. Mantle sections in these ophiolites consist of harzburgite and lherzolite cut by several generations of gabbroic to diabasic intrusions, all affected by high-temperature deformation. Pyroxenitic bands are parallel to the mantle foliation. Crustal plutonic sections, consisting of dunite, wehrlite and gabbro, are thin or absent and have been observed only in the Dazhuqu massif. Plagioclase is an additional phase associated with crustal peridotites. The mineral chemistry of silicate minerals and spinel in the mantle and crustal rocks varies widely and is believed to reflect complex melt percolation and reaction. The massifs record polybaric exhumation steps from at least 50 km depth to the plagioclase stability field. Pyroxene has re-equilibrated compositions from 1200 °C down to medium-grade metamorphic conditions. The mantle peridotites are interpreted as the residues of 10–40% partial melting of a fertile lherzolitic source. High Cr number, low TiO 2 content and relatively high Fe 3+ number of spinels suggest that the ophiolitic massifs were generated in a suprasubduction zone (arc or back-arc) environment.

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.
