Abstract
Eocene calc‐alkaline volcanic rocks (Challis–Kamloops belt) of south‐central British Columbia are part of a chain of 55–45 Ma igneous rocks running along the eastern side of the Coast Mountains Batholith that straddles the Canada–United States border. This chain has been interpreted as resulting from east‐vergent subduction of oceanic plates in the Pacific Ocean under the North American continent. The volcanic rocks are mainly mafic‐intermediate calc‐alkaline and subordinate alkaline rocks with trace element and Sr and Nd isotope characteristics typical of subduction‐related, distal continental arcs. The mafic rocks were sourced from heterogeneous, subduction‐modified, subcontinental lithospheric mantle at various depths by variable degrees of melting. The volcanic rocks are associated with the formation of block‐faulted basins in an extensional arc setting. Positive seismic P‐wave anomalies in the northern USA image a horizontal slab between two steeply dipping, approximately 500‐km‐long slabs representing the present Cascadia subduction zone in the west, and a fossil subduction zone beneath the Challis–Kamloops belt. The horizontal slab is interpreted as the Yellowstone oceanic plateau that eventually choked the trench leading to a westward trench jump. Underthrusting of the Yellowstone oceanic plateau is inferred to have led to subduction erosion beneath the leading edge of the Cordilleran arc followed by extrusion as the Central Gneiss Complex into the upper plate. The combination of trench jump and subduction of the Resurrection–Kula ridge terminated the Challis–Kamloops magmatism and further opening of the slab window leading to the northward motion of the Kula Plate relative to North America that produced oblique rifts and core complexes in British Columbia.

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.
