Abstract
For materials scientists and engineers, the extreme and unusual conditions in which meteorites and their microstructures form allow for insight into materials which would exist at the edge of our thermomechanical processing abilities. One such microstructure found in low-shock event iron meteorites is Neumann bands. These bands are arrays of lenticular deformation twins that form throughout the Fe Ni matrix with numerous intersections, resulting in many high stress and strain regions within the material's surface. These regions and the shocks that formed them encourage atypical strain accommodating mechanisms and structural changes of the material. However, investigation of the deformation twin intersections and the microstructural behaviour in and around these regions has been limited. In this work, investigation of these regions in a Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment, with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and forescatter electron (FSE) imaging, revealed two primary findings: high-intensity pattern doubling mirrored across the {110} band at twin-twin intersection and microband formation across the sample surface, suggesting multilayer twinning and constraint of the crystal structure at twin-twin intersection points. Microbands were found to form along the {110} plane and in regions near Neumann bands. The simultaneous existence of Neumann bands (microtwins) and microbands is presented here for a BCC material, and it is believed the Neumann band and microbands formed during different types and/or shock events from one another. The presence of both Neumann bands and microbands within a BCC iron meteorite is previously unreported and may be valuable in furthering our understanding of shock deformation within iron-based materials. • Large area high quality Forescatter Electron imaging of microbands in BCC material. • High-intensity pattern doubling mirrored across the {110} band. • Simultaneous existence of Neumann bands (deformation twins) and microbands. • Weighted Burgers Vector analysis of isolated and intersecting deformation twins.

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
