Abstract
U-Pb analyses have been conducted on 92 individual detrital zircon grains from 4 of the main thrust sheets of the Shoo Fly Complex. Samples from the Culbertson Lake allochthon, Duncan Peak allochthon, and Lang sequence yield mainly 1.80-2.10, 2.20-2.45, and 2.55-2.70 Ga ages, which suggests that sediments in these units originated in a cratonal region containing Paleoproterozoic and Archean igneous rocks. These ages match those of basement provinces from the northwestern Canadian shield, suggesting a provenance link with northwestern North America during early Paleozoic time. The Sierra City melange, however, has significantly different zircon ages of 551-635 and 1170-1319 Ma, with only a subordinate population of >1.8 Ga grains. These grains apparently were derived originally from an outboard Neoproterozoic-Cambrian(?) volcanic arc and from 1.0-1.7 Ga basement rocks of southwestern North America. The occurrence of all three sets of ages in a sandstone that accumulated outboard of the Lang, Culbertson Lake, and Duncan Peak thrust sheets indicates that most rocks of the Shoo Fly Complex formed inboard of a volcanic arc located in proximity to the southern portion of the Cordilleran margin.

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 it
