Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Analysis of U-Pb/Lu-Hf isotopes in zircon populations from plutonic orthogneisses and metasedimentary rocks are used to constrain the Paleoarchean to Neoarchean tectonic processes that led to Neoarchean cratonization of the western Superior Province. Plutonic orthogneisses from the North Caribou and western Wabigoon terranes assimilated varying degrees of Paleoarchean to Mesoarchean protoliths in the form of xenocrystic zircon, which indicate that the dominantly juvenile Neoarchean western Wabigoon and juvenile Mesoarchean to Neoarchean North Caribou terranes formed in association with an older Paleoarchean to Mesoarchean crustal basement. In addition, metasedimentary rocks from the North Caribou, English River, Winnipeg River, Wabigoon and Quetico terranes have detrital zircon age spectra and Hf(t) isotope compositions indicating ubiquitous availability of similar sedimentary sources across the western Superior Province during the Neoarchean. Collectively, the xenocrystic and detrital zircon evidence from the western Superior Province supports autochthonous growth of all terranes while the Neoarchean pre/ syn -tectonic basins accepted detritus from widely available Mesoarchean to Neoarchean sources.

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.
