U–Pb Neoproterozoic–Ordovician protolith age constraints for high- to medium-pressure rocks thrust over low-grade metamorphic rocks in theIxcamilpa area, Acatlán Complex, southern Mexico
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-grade and high-pressure rocks in Acatlán Complex (southern Mexico) are inferred to have been emplaced either during the convergence and collision between Laurentia and Gondwana or during subduction on the western margin of Pangea. In the Ixcamilpa area, such rocks occur in a synformal nappe and are subdivided into (1) the Neoproterozoic–Ordovician Piaxtla Suite (metapsammite, meta-pelite, and amphibolite) that passes structurally upwards from blueschist through eclogite to amphibolite facies; intruded by (2) Cambro-Ordovician megacrystic granitoids; both of which were thrust westwards over (3) the Carboniferous Zumpango Unit consisting of clastic and meta-volcanic rocks. Laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) U–Pb zircon geochronology yielded age population peaks at (i) 435–490 Ma, probably derived from Acatlán granitoids; (ii) 500–700 Ma, likely derived from the Yucatan Peninsula and Brasiliano orogens; (iii) 800–900 Ma, with provenance in the Goiás arc of eastern Amazonia; and (iv) 950–1300 Ma, sourced either from Oaxaquia, Amazonia, or Laurentia: the younger ca. 310–360 Ma ages are limited to the Zumpango Unit and likely have a local provenance. The overall similarity of the Piaxtla rocks in the Ixcamilpa area and those in the Piaxtla-Mimilulco median belt suggests that Ixcamilpa nappe roots in the median belt, which is interpreted as an extrusion zone within the Acatlán Complex. Since neither high-pressure belt represents a closed ocean, deposition of the Neoproterozoic–Ordovician rocks is inferred to have taken place on the southern margin of Rheic Ocean adjacent to Oaxaquia–Amazonia, whereas the Carboniferous rocks were deposited on the western margin of Pangea synchronous with extrusion of the high-pressure rocks.

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.
