Abstract
To study the effects of temperature, salinity, and life processes (growth rates, size, metabolic effects, and physiological/genetic effects) on newly precipitated bivalve carbonate, we quantified shell isotopic chemistry of adult and juvenile animals of the intertidal bivalve Mytilus edulis (Blue mussel) collected alive from western Greenland and the central Gulf of Maine and cultured them under controlled conditions. Data for juvenile and adult M. edulis bivalves cultured in this study, and previously by Wanamaker et al. (2006), yielded statistically identical paleotemperature relationships. On the basis of these experiments we have developed a species‐specific paleotemperature equation for the bivalve M. edulis [T °C = 16.28 (±0.10) − 4.57 (±0.15) { δ 18 O c VPBD − δ 18 O w VSMOW} + 0.06 (±0.06) { δ 18 O c VPBD − δ 18 O w VSMOW} 2 ; r 2 = 0.99; N = 323; p < 0.0001]. Compared to the Kim and O'Neil (1997) inorganic calcite equation, M. edulis deposits its shell in isotope equilibrium ( δ 18 O calcite ) with ambient water. Carbon isotopes ( δ 13 C calcite ) from sampled shells were substantially more negative than predicted values, indicating an uptake of metabolic carbon into shell carbonate, and δ 13 C calcite disequilibrium increased with increasing salinity. Sampled shells of M. edulis showed no significant trends in δ 18 O calcite based on size, cultured growth rates, or geographic collection location, suggesting that vital effects do not affect δ 18 O calcite in M. edulis . The broad modern and paleogeographic distribution of this bivalve, its abundance during the Holocene, and the lack of an intraspecies physiologic isotope effect demonstrated here make it an ideal nearshore paleoceanographic proxy throughout much of the North Atlantic Ocean.

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
