Large-scale silicate liquid immiscibility during differentiation of tholeiitic basalt to granite and the origin of the Daly gap
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dearth of intermediate magmatic compositions at the Earth's surface, referred to as the Daly gap, remains a major issue in igneous petrology. The initially favored explanation invoking silicate liquid immiscibility during evolution of basalt to rhyolite has lost support because of the absence of any firm geological evidence for separation of Fe- and Si-rich liquids in igneous rocks. This work presents a record of large-scale magmatic differentiation due to immiscibility in the tholeiitic Sept Iles intrusion (Canada), one of the largest layered plutonic bodies on Earth. Gabbroic cumulate rocks from the Critical Zone of this intrusion show a bimodal distribution in density and P2O5 content, despite identical major element chemistry of the principal magmatic phases. Immiscibility is supported by the presence of contrasting Fe-rich and Si-rich melt inclusions trapped in cumulus apatite. Phase diagrams and well-documented occurrences of smallscale immiscibility confirm that liquid-liquid unmixing and the separation of Fe-rich and Si-rich liquids may contribute significantly to the Daly gap along the tholeiitic liquid line of descent. © 2011 Geological Society of America.

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.
