The Main Central thrust zone at the base of the Himalayan metamorphic core varies in thickness, tectonostratigraphy, and metamorphic gradient along the 250 km of strike length studied. In situ U-Th/Pb geochronology of monazite sampled from an along-strike transect at the top of the high-strain zone records Eocene–Oligocene prograde metamorphism followed by Miocene retrograde metamorphism. The timing of prograde and retrograde metamorphism and the muscovite 40Ar/39Ar dates gradually decrease along strike from northwest to southeast. This age trend is punctuated by an abrupt ∼3–8 m.y. decrease in the age of prograde and retrograde metamorphism and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar dates near the Marsyandi River in central Nepal. Quartz crystallographic preferred orientation fabrics from a parallel transect along the base of the high-strain zone document similar flow style at ∼440 °C in central Nepal. Muscovite 40Ar/39Ar ages, interpreted to approximate the age of deformation at this structural level, decrease from ca. 7 to 4 Ma along strike from northwest to southeast. Diachronous deformation and metamorphism along strike in west-central Nepal demonstrate the necessity of incorporating more than a single transect into tectonic models. Along-strike tectonometamorphic variability in west-central Nepal spatially corresponds to faults in the Indian basement bounding the subsurface Faizabad ridge, highlighting the possible influence of inherited basement faults on the geometry of the basal Himalayan detachment, the Main Himalayan thrust, as well as the tectonic evolution of the structurally overlying Himalayan metamorphic core. This study highlights the potential influence of inherited structures on the overlying orogenic wedge and the probability of along-strike diachroneity of deformation in the Himalaya.

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.
