Marine turtles from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previously reported and new specimens of marine turtles from the late Campanian of Alberta, Canada, provide additional information on the diversity and distribution of chelonioid turtles at this time. An articulated carapace from the Bearpaw Formation previously interpreted as Lophochelys niobrarae is considered to be a juvenile of a specifically indeterminate chelonioid and is referred to Lophochelys sp. Isolated neurals and a hyoplastron from nonmarine estuarine deposits in the uppermost beds of the Dinosaur Park Formation are tentatively referred to Lophochelys sp. These specimens suggest that this chelonioid could enter freshwater environments. A new chelonioid, Kimurachelys slobodae gen. et sp. nov., is recognized on the basis of two mandibles and a maxilla from the uppermost beds of the Dinosaur Park Formation of southeastern Alberta. A partial postcranial skeleton of an indeterminate chelonioid from the Bearpaw Formation provides additional evidence that chelonioids of this formation included taxa that were phylogenetically intermediate between chelonioids of the late Santonian and members of the crown group.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
