Abstract
This paper presents the preliminary results of the study of a mammoth tusk unearthed in the south of France in July 2010, in a sandy lens of an ancient Aude terrace (Quillan, France). This kind of discovery is scarce in this area and deserves to be mentioned. This is the first occurrence of Mammoth remains in this part of France and confirms the presence of this Proboscidean in the area during the Quaternary period. The terrace has been attributed to MIS 6-8, which allows us to ascribe this tusk to Mammuthus cf. intermedius, characteristic of biozone MNQ24 belonging to the end of Middle Pleistocene rather than the Upper Pleistocene Mammuthus primigenius.Cet article présente les résultats préliminaires de l'étude d'une défense de mammouth découverte dans le sud de la France en juillet 2010, dans une lentille de sable d'une ancienne terrasse de l’Aude (Quillan, France). Ce genre de découverte est extrêmement rare dans cette région et mérite d’être mentionnée. Il s’agit de la première mention de restes de mammouth dans cette partie de la France, ce qui confirme la présence de ce proboscidien dans la région pendant la période quaternaire. L’attribution au MIS 6-8 de cette terrasse permet d’envisager l’appartenance de cette défense à Mammuthus cf. intermedius caractéristique de la biozone MNQ24 appartenant à la fin du Pléistocène moyen, plutôt qu’à Mammuthus primigenius du Pléistocène supérieur.

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 it
