Newly recognized blueschist-facies metamorphism (glaucophane-omphacite-garnet), Belvidere Mountain Complex, northern Appalachians
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract An occurrence of blueschistfacies metamorphism in the Appalachian orogen is newly recognized in northwestern New England, United States. Inclusions of glaucophane and omphacite occur in a relict garnet core from a retrogressed garnetbarroisite amphibolite of the Belvidere Mountain Complex in Vermont. Pressuretemperature pseudosection and mineral composition isopleth calculations demonstrate that the Belvidere Mountain Complex blueschistfacies mineral assemblage of glaucophane–magnesio-hornblende–omphacite–chlorite–rutile–quartz–clinozoisite–garnet was stable at ~1.65–2.0 GPa and ~450–480 °C. Garnetabsent amphibolite with barroisite and chlorite inclusions in clinozoisite records highpressure epidote-amphibolite–facies metamorphism at ~1.0–1.4 GPa and ~515–550 °C. These new findings quantify deep subduction of the Belvidere Mountain Complex during the Cambrian to Ordovician Taconic orogenic cycle and suggest that more blueschistfacies mineral assemblages could be revealed in the Appalachians with detailed analysis of retrogressed rocks.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
