Nd isotope mapping in the Go Home region of Georgian Bay: a misunderstood key to the geology of the Central Gneiss Belt, Grenville Province of Ontario
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Georgian Bay transect forms an important geological section across the deeply exhumed Central Gneiss Belt of the Ontario Grenville Province. Its geological mapping was one of Nick Culshaw’s major research contributions, but the tectonic structure of the southern part of this transect in the Go Home region was never properly established. New Nd isotope data show that the classically recognized Go Home domain should be divided into three structural “decks” with distinct TDM (depleted mantle) Nd model ages. The upper deck consists of the Pine Island and Honey Harbour domains, with TDM ages averaging 1.56 and 1.57 Ga, respectively, which form two isolated units of the Grenvillian allochthonous belt. These are underlain by the newly-recognized Six Mile Lake domain, whose average TDM age of 1.71 Ga is representative of the tectonic duplex entrained elsewhere onto the base of the allochthon. Finally, the lowermost deck yields an average TDM age of 1.87 Ga, which identifies it as part of the Grenvillian parautochthon, exposed here in a tectonic window. The presence of a large retrogressed eclogite body within the allochthonous Honey Harbour domain confirms the exhumation of this unit from the deep crust on a major structural ramp. The coherent boundaries of these domains are consistent with the ramp–flat thrusting model of the Ottawan (Grenvillian) orogeny and limit the action of later extensional tectonics in the southwest Grenville Province.

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.
