Deep crustal structure of the area of intersection between the Shackleton Fracture Zone and the West Scotia Ridge (Drake Passage, Antarctica)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Shackleton Fracture Zone, which forms the boundary between the Antarctic and Scotia plates in the Drake Passage, is characterized by a present-day left-lateral motion. The West Scotia Ridge, an extinct spreading centre, formed the oceanic crust of the western Scotia Plate and intersects the Shackleton Fracture Zone in a complex deformed area. Multichannel seismic, gravity, magnetic and multibeam swath bathymetry data were acquired during the ANTPAC 97/98 cruise with the Spanish vessel B/O HESPERIDES in the area of intersection of these two tectonic features. The new data reveal its asymmetrical deep crustal structure, which developed as a consequence of the overprinting of extensional and contractional deformation events. The main seismic features of the crust of the Scotia and Antarctic plates are deep dipping braided reflectors, which may be a consequence of an initial stretching deformation related to the Shackleton Fracture Zone. At present, this fracture zone is characterized by thickened oceanic crust, deformed by reverse and transcurrent faults and locally bounded by areas of crustal thinning. The present morphology of the West Scotia Ridge has the characteristics of slow spreading centres, with a central valley bounded by two elongated highs. However, its structure reveals that after spreading ended, there was a NW–SE contractional deformation event, with a thrust of about 40 km of slip that resulted in asymmetrical crustal thickening. Incipient subduction initiates subparallel to the strike of the spreading centre. This tectonic event may be related to

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.
