Conodont zonation across the PermianTriassic boundary at the Xiakou section, Yichang city, Hubei Province and its correlation with the Global Stratotype Section and Point of the PTB
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Xiakou section is situated north of the central Yangtze platform with successive Late Permian to Early Triassic strata, thicker than the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of the PermianTriassic boundary (PTB). We recognized three conodont zones across the PTB in this section by high-precision biostratigraphy. They are the Hindeodus latidentatus Clarkina meishanensis Zone, Hindeodus parvus Zone, and Isarcicella isarcica Zone in ascending order, which correspond well with the GSSP. The present biostratigraphic work on Xiakou section certainly confirmed the conodont zonation through the PTB at the GSSP and also testified to the correctness of the PTB demarcation in Xiakou section. Based on this precise demarcation of the PTB, the appearance of a clay layer, bed ZSJI266, just beneath the PTB should be an important advantage over the GSSP, because this clay layer approaches to the PTB much in contrast with those two clay layers, bed 26 and bed 28, in the GSSP. Therefore, the radiometric isotopic dating in bed ZSJI266 at Xiakou section should give a more accurate age for the PTB.

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.
