ASSIMILATION OF COUNTRY-ROCK ILMENITE AND RUTILE IN THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN BATHOLITH, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The South Mountain Batholith (SMB) of southwestern Nova Scotia is a peraluminous granitoid complex showing physical and chemical evidence of contamination by metasedimentary country-rocks of the Meguma Group. Some ilmenite grains in the granitic rocks are texturally and chemically similar to ilmenite grains in the country rocks, whereas other ilmenite grains in the granitic rocks appear to be texturally (more euhedral) and chemically (lower and less variable Mn contents) unique. Some rutile grains in the granitic rocks are texturally and chemically similar to rutile grains in the country rocks, whereas other rutile grains in the granitic rocks appear to be texturally (more euhedral, possible cavity-fill) and chemically (higher Nb + Ta contents, oscillatory compositional zoning) unique. In the least evolved rocks of the SMB, ilmenite is magmatic and xenocrystic in origin, with cation exchange the probable reaction causing the assimilation of the xenocrysts, whereas rutile appears to be exclusively xenocrystic, remaining as the product of incomplete dissolution. In rocks from intermediate stages of evolution of the SMB, magmatic ilmenite and rutile are more abundant than xenocrystic ilmenite and rutile. In the most evolved rocks of the SMB, magmatic and xenocrystic ilmenite are absent from the mineral assemblage, probably through a combination of a peritectic reaction and dissolution, respectively, whereas most grains of rutile appear to be largely of magmatic origin, with some xenocrystic grains remaining after incomplete cation-exchange reactions.

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.
