U–Pb age constraints on Variscan magmatism and Ni–Cu–PGE metallogeny in the Ossa–Morena Zone (SW Iberia)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
New U–Pb zircon ages from the Santa Olalla Igneous Complex have been obtained, which improve the knowledge of the precise timing of Variscan magmatism in the Ossa–Morena Zone, SW Iberia. This complex has a special relevance as it hosts the most important Ni–Cu–platinum group element (PGE) mineralization in Europe: the Aguablanca deposit. U–Pb zircon ages have been obtained for seven samples belonging to the Santa Olalla Igneous Complex and spatially related granites. With the exception of the Cala granite (352 ± 4 Ma), which represents an older intrusion, the bulk of samples yield ages that cluster around 340 ± 3 Ma: the Santa Olalla tonalite (341.5 ± 3 Ma), the Sultana hornblende tonalite (341 ± 3 Ma), a mingling area at the contact between the Aguablanca and Santa Olalla stocks (341 ± 1.5 Ma), the Garrote granite (339 ± 3 Ma), the Teuler granite (338 ± 2 Ma), and dioritic dykes from the Aguablanca stock (338.6 ± 0.8 Ma). The Bodonal–Cala porphyry, which has also been dated (530 ± 3 Ma), comprises a group of sub-volcanic rhyolitic intrusions belonging to the Bodonal–Cala volcano-sedimentary complex, which hosts the igneous rocks. The knowledge that emplacement of the Aguablanca deposit was related to episodic transtensional tectonic stages during the Variscan orogeny will be fundamental in future mineral exploration in the Ossa–Morena Zone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
