Chemical tagging via Gaussian Mixture Model on multiple abundances shows that halo substructures Sequoia, Heracles, Thamnos, and Helmi Stream are contaminated mixtures dominated by GSE and disc stars, with additional contributions from Sagittarius and omega Cen.

Planar very metal-poor stars exhibit chemical homogeneity and dwarf-galaxy-like abundance ratios, supporting origin from one ancient accreted system tentatively called Loki.
RR Lyrae stars yield metallicity measurements for Milky Way halo substructures including Gaia Sausage/Enceladus at [Fe/H] = -1.57 dex, with some features like ED-1 showing disk contamination and others like Shiva and Shakti suggested as in-situ.
Five halo substructures (disk, Splash, GSE, Thamnos1, Thamnos2) are recovered with distinct chemo-dynamical properties supporting extragalactic origins.
