Assessing Inheritance of Zircon and Monazite in Granitic Rocks from the Monashee Complex, Canadian Cordillera
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Zircon and monazite from granitic sheets and dikes in the Monashee complex, Canadian Cordillera, were investigated to determine whether igneous crystallization occurred at 1·9 Ga or 50 Ma with 1·9 Ga inherited zircon and monazite. Four of the five samples are weakly deformed to undeformed, despite occurring in a gneiss dome at the structurally deepest exposed level of the orogen that elsewhere was strongly deformed and partly melted at 50 Ma. Based on U–(Th)–Pb ages from zircon and monazite, field relationships, and mineral composition and zoning, we conclude that the granitic rocks crystallized at 1·9 Ga and were metamorphosed at 50 Ma. All dated zircon is 1·9 Ga (except for 2·3–2·0 Ga inherited cores) and 1·9 Ga monazite makes up >90% of the population in four samples. The remainder of the monazite is 50 Ma and all monazite in one sample is 50 Ma. Composition and zoning of 1·9 Ga zircon and monazite are uniform within samples, yet differ between samples, indicating growth from 1·9 Ga magmas that are unique to each sample. This relationship is unlikely if the grains are inherited because the host rocks are heterogeneous 2·3–2·1 Ga gneisses. The 1·9 Ga zircon and monazite have zoning that is consistent with growth from magmas, whereas the 50 Ma monazite has variable composition and zoning that suggest growth from diverse metamorphic fluids. The results demonstrate that part of the Monashee complex was last strongly deformed and partly melted at 1·9 Ga, and thus largely escaped Cordilleran tectonism.

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.
