Abstract
Eclogite is a minor mantle lithology, present in subducted slivers in cratonic roots.Mantle eclogites carry O and C isotopic signatures from surface organic and inorganic carbon and also are modified by reaction with fluids in the lithosphere.One third of the diamonds mined worldwide are sourced from mantle eclogites, and individual eclogite xenoliths contain up to 20 vol.% diamond.It is critically important to understand where the diamond carbon comes from, and how the diamonds form, for insights on the carbon cycle, diamond exploration, and processes in the lithospheric mantle.Few samples and methods are available to constrain diamond formation in eclogites; in this work we focus on oxygen isotopes in eclogitic garnets.New analyses of garnet/majorite found as inclusions in the Cullinan diamonds reveal a statistically significant systematic difference between δ 18 O in garnet associated, and unassociated, with diamond.This contrast persists between garnet from diamondiferous and barren eclogite xenoliths and cannot be due to shielding of diamond inclusions from equilibrating with the common mantle values of δ 18 O.We propose that diamond-forming metasomatic reactions triggered by carbonatitic fluids may contribute up to 1.5 ‰ to the shift of δ 18 O to higher values in eclogitic diamondiferous paragenesis, but cannot fully account for the observed difference of 2.5 ‰.

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 it
