The tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) to granodiorite–granite (GG) transition in the late Archean plutonic rocks of the central Wyoming Province
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 2.95–2.82 Ga quartzofeldspathic gneisses and granitoids in the Bighorn, western Owl Creek, and northeastern Wind River uplifts in the central Wyoming Province include low-K tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) and high-K granodiorite–granite (GG) rocks. Both types of granitoids were intruded contemporaneously, although TTGs are more abundant in the older gneisses. The TTG suite consists of calcic to marginally calc-alkalic rocks that straddle the boundaries between metaluminous and peraluminous and between ferroan and magnesian compositions. Rare-earth element (REE) patterns of these rocks may be highly fractionated with low heavy rare-earth element (HREE) contents and modest to absent Eu anomalies but may also be less strongly HREE depleted. These rocks do not represent first-generation continental crust: most have unradiogenic Nd and radiogenic 207 Pb/ 204 Pb isotopic compositions that require the incorporation of isotopically evolved sources. The GG suite has compositions that are transitional between Archean TTG and modern, continental margin calc-alkalic rocks. The GG suite is characterized by higher alkali contents relative to CaO than the TTG suite and higher K/Na ratios but exhibits a similar range in REE patterns. The Nd, Sr, and Pb isotopic compositions of the GG suite are slightly less variable but lie within the range of those of the TTG suite. We interpret them as having a source similar to that of the TTG, perhaps forming by partial melting of preexisting TTG. The shift from TTG-dominated to GG-dominated continental crust was a gradual transition that took place over several hundred million years. Clearly subduction-related calc-alkalic magmatism is not recognized in the Wyoming Province prior to 2.67 Ga.

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.
