Permian back‐arc basin formation and arc migration in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, <scp>Northwest</scp> China
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 290–280 Ma mafic Liuyuan Complex, embedded in the terranes constituting the southern edge of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, has been interpreted to be either an ophiolite or an intracontinental large igneous province. Our detailed mapping shows that the Liuyuan Complex preserves an almost complete oceanic crustal section, with basal troctolite cumulates, varitextured gabbro affected by intense sub‐seafloor hydrothermal circulation, a newly discovered, and laterally‐continuous sheeted dyke complex, capped by basaltic pillows. This architecture is inconsistent with a continental rift‐layered intrusion model for the Liuyuan Complex, which we interpret as oceanic crust formed by seafloor spreading. The trace element ratios (Th/Yb, V/Ti, La/Sm, and La/Nb) of the lavas is consistent with a back‐arc basin environment. We suggest that the slab subducting to the north and forming the Ganquan arc system rolled back around 292 Ma, opening a back‐arc basin (the Liuyuan Complex). This oceanic basin started to close from ca. 281 Ma, with north‐dipping subduction under the accreted terranes constituting the southern active margin of Composite Siberia. The Liuyuan Complex was eventually obducted southwards over the Ganquan arc as part of the upper plate during the final closure of the back‐arc basin.

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.
