Strain Partitioning in a Flattening Shear Zone: Re‐Evaluation of a Cycladic Style Detachment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The Almyropotamos tectonic window on southern Evia island in the NW Aegean Sea divides two high pressure‐low temperature metamorphic units, representing distinct Hellenic thrust sheets. Ductile thinning along the major low‐angle Evia Shear Zone has closely juxtaposed the lower (Basal Unit) marble‐flysch sequence structurally below Styra marbles (Cycladic Blueschist Unit). The partially attenuated flysch comprises a matrix dominated by pelitic schist, with dispersed cm‐ to hm‐scale blocks of marble, carbonate schist, quartzite, and metabasite. Structural investigation of the different lithotypes in the flysch reveals tectonic fabrics related to general flattening strain are developed most strongly in the pelitic matrix, whereas the compositionally diverse blocks exhibit differential preservation of older structures. Quartz c‐axis distributions from quartz veins in the schists reflect an early, moderate temperature plane strain deformation. Colder deformation is evident in some pelitic schists, capturing Z‐centered girdles consistent with the oblate finite strain ellipsoid inferred from macroscopic structures. New in situ 40 Ar/ 39 Ar and 87 Rb/ 87 Sr geochronology delineate the timing of the two deformation events. Geochronological data reaffirm the first‐order observations of strain partitioning behavior at the scale of the shear zone, and confirm that the structure records two resolvable tectonometamorphic events: an early Oligocene HP‐LT event, and a late Oligocene‐early Miocene greenschist facies overprint coinciding with ductile thinning. The diffuse and discontinuous style of deformation recorded within the shear zone is unusual for major structures facilitating exhumation in the Aegean Sea, and may represent an analogue to mélange‐hosted shear zones that accommodate progressive strain during subduction.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
