Age and Rate of Accumulation of Metal‐Rich Hydrothermal Deposits on the Seafloor: The Lucky Strike Vent Field, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Hydrothermal venting at the Lucky Strike hydrothermal field, located on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, is associated with faulting linked to the tectonic dismemberment of a central axial volcano. Radium‐226/Ba dating of hydrothermal barite indicates that hydrothermal venting is at least 6,600 years old, and that Lucky Strike is one of the youngest known vent fields on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, which typically have ages exceeding 20 ka. Deposit volume calculations indicate that the total accumulated mass of the hydrothermal deposits on the seafloor at Lucky Strike is ∼1.3 ± 0.2 Mt, and that this mass accumulated at a maximum average rate of 194 ± 28 t/yr. This accumulation rate is comparable to other well characterized mid‐ocean ridge hydrothermal sites, such as TAG and Endeavor, but at Lucky Strike is concentrated within a relatively small area of <2.5 km2.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
