The Burgess Shale and associated Cambrian formations west of the Fossil Gully Fault Zone on Mount Stephen, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
West of the Fossil Gully Fault Zone on Mount Stephen, the three lowest members only of the Burgess Shale Formation are preserved: the Kicking Horse Shale, the Yoho River Limestone, and the Campsite Cliff Shale. The formation rests unconformably upon the Takakkaw Tongue Formation, whose dark basinal limestones conformably overlie paler shelf-like limestones of the Mount Whyte Formation. Mapping has resolved a long-standing problem and shown that the stratigraphical position of the famous Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds lies within the Campsite Cliff Shale. It has also revealed some of the complexities of the Fossil Gully Fault Zone, among which different periods and directions of component fault movements are indicated. Faunal evidence shows that the PlagiuraKochaspis to Albertella and Albertella to Glossopleura zonal boundaries lie within the Takakkaw Tongue sequence. Within the Burgess Shale, three distinct soft-bodied communities occur at different stratigraphical levels on this mountain slope. The oldest, characterized by the arthropod Alalcomenaeus and chelicerate Sanctacaris, occurs low in the Kicking Horse Shale Member and is best known from Collins Quarry. The others lie within the Campsite Cliff Shale Member. The Trilobite Beds, characterized by claws of the dinocarid Anomalocaris and moults of the trilobite Ogygopsis klotzi, onlap the sloping top of a proximal bench facies of the Yoho River Limestone Member close to the Cathedral Escarpment. Slightly older and farther out in the basin are beds characterized by the dinocarid Laggania and a tulip-like animal related to Dinomischus, excavated about 12 m above the top of a thin distal wedge facies of the Yoho River Limestone at the S7 site. Among the illustrated trilobites, a new corynexochine from the Campsite Cliff Shale Member is figured.

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.
