The conodont <i>Iapetognathus</i> and its value for defining the base of the Ordovician System
Why this work is in the frame
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract
Nicoll et al. (1999, Brigham Young University Geology Studies 44, 27–101) published the taxonomy of species of the ramiform conodont Iapetognathus Landing in Fortey et al. (1982, The Cambrian–Ordovician boundary: sections, fossil distributions, and correlations, National Museum of Wales, Geological Series No. 3, Cardiff, 95–129) and its ancestor Iapetonudus Nicoll et al., 1999. Cooper et al. (2001, Episodes 24, 19–28) used the First Appearance Datum of Iapetognathus fluctivagus Nicoll et al., 1999 to mark the base of the Ordovician System at Green Point, Newfoundland. Terfelt et al. (2012, Lethaia 45, 227–237) re-evaluated Iapetognathus at Green Point and made several taxonomic and stratigraphic conclusions, nearly all of which we refute herein.

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
