The connection between volcanism and plutonism in the Sifton Range volcanic complex, Northern Canadian Cordillera /
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The early Tertiary marked a period of intense magmatic activity in the Canadian Cordillera as a consequence of tectonic restructuring within the Kula-North American plate system from orthogonal to oblique convergence. Resultant calc-alkaline volcanism formed a discontinuous belt (Challis Arc) along the eastern margin of the Coast Plutonic Complex (CPC) from south-eastern Alaska through Yukon into west-central British Columbia and northern Washington State. The Sifton Range volcanic complex (SRVC) is the Yukon's largest Paleogene erosional remnant of volcanic rocks (240 km2), and represents the only coeval volcanic-plutonic suite within the Sloko-Skukum Group of southern Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. It comprises a 900-m thick, shallow-dipping, volcanic succession dominated by intermediate to evolved lavas and abundant felsic pyroclastics deposited in a north-westerly trending half-graben. Three volcano-stratigraphic units are documented: (1) Lower Interbedded Unit, (2) Middle lavas, and (3) Upper Interbedded Unit. Locally, the volcanic sequence is intruded by biotite, hornblende, two-feldspar granites of the CPC's Nisling plutonic suite dated at 57.5 Ma. Felsite sills radiate from the main intrusive body, and together with numerous basaltic to dacitic dykes traverse the entire volcanic package. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
