Geochronological constraints on magmatism and polyphase deformation and metamorphism in the southern Omineca Belt, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Omineca Belt between Nelson and Creston in southeastern British Columbia was affected by overlapping pulses of Mesozoic magmatism, metamorphism, and deformation. U–Pb geochronological data from zircon and monazite were collected by laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) to constrain the timing of these events. The Porcupine Creek stock (162.3 ± 1.3 Ma) intruded across folds and fabrics associated with the earliest phase of regional deformation and metamorphism (D1M1), restricting it to the Early–Middle Jurassic. The Jurassic structures are overprinted northwards by Early Cretaceous deformation and metamorphism (D2M2). The Baldy pluton (117.8 ± 1.2 Ma) crosscuts the regional 144–134 Ma M2 isograds, yet was pervasively affected by the D2 deformation, indicating that D2 deformation outlasted M2 metamorphism but had ceased by 111 Ma, the age of an undeformed pluton. Monazite dates from a kyanite-bearing rock in the contact aureole of the Middle Jurassic Wall stock overlap with the age of the intrusion (167 Ma), indicating a contact rather than regional origin for the kyanite. In the southeast part of the study area, three samples from the regional sillimanite zone contain monazite intergrown with sillimanite that yield dates between 80 and 69 Ma, indicating an episode of Late Cretaceous (M3) Barrovian metamorphism and deformation (D3). To the north of this domain, in an area characterized by the older D2M2 deformation, a sillimanite zone schist contains two main monazite age populations, suggestive of overlapping effects of Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous metamorphic episodes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
