Pre-Late Wisconsinan Paleoenvironments in Atlantic Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Numerous Quaternary organic deposits of various lithologies beneath one or more till units of Wisconsinan age have been discovered in boreholes and exposures in coastal bluffs, quarries and river banks at widespread localities throughout Atlantic Canada. Ongoing palynological and macro-fossil studies, still in a preliminary stage at many sites, reveal a variety of environments from forests dominated by thermophilous hardwood genera and white pine, to mixed temperate hardwood and conifer forests, to boreal coniferous forests of spruce and balsam fir, and forest tundra and tundra communities characterized by spruce, shrubs and herbs. Lithologie and pollen stratigraphie relationships and radiocarbon, amino acid and Thorium/Uranium dating allow a tentative assignment to the Sangamonian Stage and possibly to Early and Middle Wisconsinan time. Three intervals of organic accumulation are apparent: an early interval, when climate became warmer than the present; a second interval, when climate was similar to the present; and a third interval, with cooler climate. The latter interval is characterized by at least three climatic cycles, each one cooler than the previous cycle. Tentative correlations with the deep-sea oxygen isotope record and continental palynological records are presented.

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.
