Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Rhenium-osmium geochronology of sulfides and its Os tracer accompaniment have taken their place among geochronometers, although the journey was not without doubters and disparagers. This review highlights several historical hurdles overcome in dating sulfides. The opening act was the debut of molybdenite, which provided an accessible radiometric clock and early insight into the accuracy of the 187Re decay constant. Once controversies surrounding newly minted and game-changing Re-Os molybdenite ages died down, the door flung wide open to begin dating other sulfides, most notably, arsenopyrite and pyrite. Applications sprinted from the ore geology community to constraining the timing of important events, from Earth’s oxygenation to the amalgamation of tectonic terranes. The power of Re-Os sulfide dating in crustal environments was unleashed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
