Abstract
Abstract Shallowing‐upward, decametre‐scale, Palaeoproterozoic iron formation cycles in northern Wisconsin record the combined effects of tectonism and changing oceanographic conditions on a storm‐dominated shelf. Cycles consist of a lower unit of laminated, Fe‐ and Si‐rich chemical mudstone that is transitional into an upper unit dominated by trough cross‐stratified chert grainstone. Grainstone lenses become progressively thicker upwards in cycles with the largest at cycle tops, where they are sharply overlain by a unit of slumped chemical mudstone. The cycles developed through progradation when offshore‐directed storm currents transported chert sand intraclasts that were formed in nearshore settings into middle and distal shelf environments. Abrupt subsidence events, probably resulting from normal faulting associated with extensional tectonism, repeatedly terminated chert grainstone accumulation and may also have generated the slumped units at cycle boundaries. The episodic storm currents are also interpreted to have transported biologically oxygenated waters from the shallow‐water, inner shelf into otherwise anoxic bottom waters of the strongly stratified distal shelf. The consequence of such transport and mixing was rapid deposition of chemical mud, mainly as precipitated Fe‐oxide. In many cases, the resultant decrease in Fe 2+ in the water column, together with pelagic inorganic precipitation of SiO 2 and rainout of terrigenous clays, resulted in submillimetre‐ to millimetre‐thick, chemically graded laminae. The concomitant decreasing Fe 2+ /Mn 2+ ratio also led to increasing Mn‐compound precipitation and enrichment in the upper portions of some chemically graded layers.

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
