Emplacement of the pluton occurred during a critical time in the tectonic evolution of the central Sierra Nevada magmatic arc, marked by a transition from regional contraction to dextral transcurrent shear. A model for the emplacement of the intrusion is developed based on detailed mapping of the pluton and its wall rocks and characterization of its internal structure by measurements of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) at 351 stations. One of the key results of the study is documentation of a strong correlation between petrologic and structural fabrics in the pluton, and determination that these fabrics reflect internal magma chamber dynamics more than regional tectonic strain.The ∼80-km-long, 15–30-km-wide pluton crystallized from a multiphase, three-segment magma chamber marked by a bulbous northern lobe and linear central and southern segments. The pluton is interpreted to be tabular in shape with a thickness of ∼5 km. Most of the space for the pluton was created by piecemeal block downdrop of the magma chamber floor along three principal fracture sets, the most important of which were steeply dipping, northwest-trending fractures formed parallel to the structural grain of the arc, and vertical, north-trending extension fractures formed in response to a component of arc-parallel dextral shear. Some of these fractures acted as magma conduits, episodically filling the pluton as source rocks became depleted in melt. An initial, voluminous intrusive event (stage 1) quickly filled the southern chamber with granodiorite magma, but only partially filled the northern and central chambers. Stage 2 magmatism involved underplating of megacrystic granite in the northern chamber and lateral flow of a large batch of this magma from the northern to the central chamber, the latter delineated by a 20-km-long belt of megacrystic granite containing subhorizontal magnetic lineations that connects the pluton segments. Floor downdrop eventually ceased to be an effective space-making process in the northern lobe, and renewed magmatism (stage 3) led to expansion and doming of the chamber. As the northern lobe cooled, a ring fault ruptured within the viscoelastic stage 1–2 carapace, allowing ring dike intrusion (stage 4) and sinking of a central flap of consolidated material. The temporal and spatial variations in emplacement mechanisms demonstrated for the Mount Givens pluton (i.e., fracture generation, floor downdrop, underplating, inflation, ring diking) suggest that end-member models (e.g., fracture vs. diapir) are oversimplifications of the pluton assembly process.

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.
