SILICATE MELT INCLUSIONS IN PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSITS: IDENTIFICATION AND HOMOGENIZATION BEHAVIOR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Silicate melt inclusions are ubiquitous in phenocrysts in porphyry copper deposits. Compared to melt inclusions in other igneous environments, those in porphyry copper deposits are more difficult to recognize and analyze, for a variety of reasons. The inclusions are usually partially to completely crystallized or altered by hydrothermal fluids, resulting in a dark, granular appearance. In this study, a protocol for identifying and homogenizing crystallized melt-inclusions from porphyry copper deposits is described. The protocol has been used to obtain preliminary data from melt inclusions in the Red Mountain, Arizona, and the Tyrone, New Mexico, porphyry copper deposits. Many melt inclusions in syn- and post-mineralization samples show evidence of alteration by magmatic-hydrothermal fluids that produced alteration and mineralization in the plutons, and many inclusions trapped crystals or fluid (or both) along with the melt. Elevated concentrations of metal in pre-mineralization (H2O-undersaturated) melt inclusions, and lower concentrations of metal in later syn- and post-mineralization (H2O-saturated) melt inclusions are consistent with models that invoke quantitative transfer of copper and other metals from the melt into the magmatic aqueous phase when the melt reaches H2O saturation. Results from Red Mountain and Tyrone are compared to melt inclusions from the White Island, New Zealand, active volcano.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
