Devonian granites and Tin mineralization in the footwall of the Dybendal Detachment in Hudson Land (North-East Greenland)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During the Middle Devonian-earliest Carboniferous, the sedimentation in North-East Greenland was characterised by the deposition of Old Red Sandstone (ORS) molasse in the Hudson Land Basin. In this area, Givetian conglomerates of the Vilddal Group, which postdate a first stage of Caledonian folding, unconformably sit on the core of large-scale anticlines and above a deep erosional surface that exposed Late Silurian migmatitic rocks of the lower part of the Nathorst Land Group. The ORS succession records folding and intrabasinal unconformities that are associated with the activation of extensional faults and subsequent compression and thrusting (Guarnieri 2021).In Parkinson Bjerg, Middle Devonian sandstones of the Ankerbjergselv Fm rests in tectonic contact with Neoproterozoic metasandstones of the Nathorst Land Group in the footwall of a top-to-SW brittle/ductile extensional fault: the Dybendal Detachment. Rhyolitic and basaltic flows are intercalated within the sedimentary package at different stratigraphic levels and lie in the hanging wall of the detachment. The Dybendal Detachment is probably a splay of the Payer Land Detachment (Gilotti and Elvevold 2002) along which Lower Paleozoic carbonate rocks rest tectonically in contact with Paleoproterozoic gneisses that reached HP/HT granulite facies conditions, along a SW-dipping mylonitic zone. The peak metamorphism was dated at c. 405 Ma (Gilotti and Elvevold 2002) followed by partial melting of metapelites associated with isothermal decompression, probably during the Middle-Late Devonian, leading to the emplacement of a metamorphic core complex.Tin mineralization associated with granitic intrusions in Parkinson Bjerg has been known since the mid-fifties of the last century (Harpøth et al., 1986) and recent U-Pb ages from cassiterite found in greisen floats, established a Devonian age for the mineralization (Keulen et al., 2024).The structural setting of the Devonian intrusions in the footwall of the Dybendal Detachment suggests a correlation between magmatism and partial melting of the Payer Land gneisses during the emplacement of the metamorphic core complex.

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.
