Early Cretaceous rapid exhumation processes in the southern Great Xing’an Range, NE China: implications for extensional geodynamics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Mesozoic-Cenozoic geological evolution of the southern Great Xing’an Range (GXR) has long been controversial since it is located in the superposed region of different tectonic regimes and involves complex interactions. Here, we present low-temperature thermochronological data from granitoids emplaced in multiple magmatic stages to delineate the tectono-thermal history and further understand the geodynamic process. Most zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He ages, within error, indicate Early Cretaceous: the zircon average (U-Th)/He ages range from 146.7 ± 8.7 to 120.0 ± 7.1 Ma, except for the oldest data (162.5 ± 9.6 Ma) and the apatite (U-Th)/He ages vary from 138.7 ± 8.2 to 94.8 ± 7.5 Ma, except for the youngest age (70.8 ± 4.3 Ma). Systematic numerical modelling reveals that a rapid cooling and exhumation process with rates of 2.5-10 oC/Ma and 0.07-0.29 mm/yr occurred in the southern GXR during the early Cretaceous (145–110 Ma). We propose that the rapid uplift and exhumation of intrusive rocks during the early Cretaceous is also a manifestation of the extensional regime in the southern GXR, which is dominated by the rollback of the subducted Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate superposed by the post-orogenic extensional collapse of the Mongol-Okhotsk belt. In addition, the slow exhumation process since the late Cretaceous (~0.01 mm/yr) suggests that the Paleo-Pacific Ocean tectonic regime has a weak impact on the southern GXR area.

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.
