Complementary <i>in situ</i> garnet Lu-Hf geochronology and monazite U(-Th)-Pb petrochronology: an example from the Archean Slave craton, Northwest Territories, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Advances in analytical instrumentation over the past decade have facilitated the development of new geochronological methods. In particular, the triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers with in-line reaction cells have made it possible to investigate beta decay geochronological systems, including Lu-Hf in garnet, in situ via laser ablation. While these new methods allow different kinds of studies to be carried out, their utility relative to well-established methods has not been investigated in detail. Herein we present the results of in situ garnet Lu-Hf and monazite U(-Th)-Pb geochronological analyses of two adjacent Archean meta-pelitic rocks from the Northwest Territories, Canada. Whereas the garnet Lu-Hf analyses define single population isochrons of ca. 2570 Ma, monazite U(-Th)-Pb analyses define two chemically distinct populations. An older ca. 2570 Ma monazite population has low Y concentrations, while a younger, ca. 2530 Ma monazite population has high Y concentrations. The change in Y concentrations in the monazite is consistent with coeveal growth with garnet during prograde metamorphism whereas the younger high Y monazite is interpreted to reflect growth during garnet breakdown during decompression. The results presented herein demonstrate that incorporating both in situ garnet and monazite geochronological data takes advantage of each method (i.e. the spatial precision, variable (re)crystalization under different conditions, and the ability to determine a date without relying on an isochron for monazite U-Pb, and the ability to date a primary metamorphic phase for garnet Lu-Hf) to build a more robust geochronological history.

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.
