Abstract
Abstract. The texture and mineral compositions of mantle xenoliths from the West Eifel volcanic field (WEVF) reveal three distinct mantle events. The first, identified in LREE-depleted and isotopically depleted anhydrous (type Ib) xenoliths, resulted from partial melting of fertile mantle around 2 Ga. The second event, marked by the formation of Ti-poor, LREE-rich clinopyroxene, amphibole, and phlogopite in hydrous type Ia xenoliths, is attributed to mantle metasomatism. The third event, evidenced by LREE-depleted and MREE-enriched clinopyroxene in olivine–clinopyroxenite veins and in more evolved hornblendite and phlogopite–clinopyroxenite veins that occur in type Ia xenoliths, is associated with the passage of primitive alkaline mafic magma related to the Quaternary host magmatism. Previous studies of mantle xenoliths have proposed that metasomatic agents could include both silicate and carbonatite melts. The trace element signatures in the studied xenoliths, particularly the Ti / Eu and LaN / YbN ratios and the large negative Zr and Hf anomalies, support the involvement of carbonatite melts in the formation of Ti-poor, LREE-enriched clinopyroxene and amphibole in type Ia xenoliths and clinopyroxene–amphibole–phlogopite veins in the earlier metasomatic event. The subsequent silicate melt metasomatism overprinted this carbonatite metasomatism, producing Ti-rich clinopyroxene and amphibole. Trace element data and diffusion modelling suggest that the silicate metasomatism was not uniformly distributed, resulting in compositional heterogeneity in individual grains and xenoliths. Diffusion-controlled mixing between the earlier carbonatite-associated clinopyroxene and the silicate melt equilibrium phase is proposed to explain this heterogeneity. The complex interplay of metasomatic agents resulted in highly heterogeneous mantle compositions on a grain-to-grain and xenolith-to-xenolith scale.

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 it
