Abstract
Kerogens were purified from 26 samples of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation over the full range of maturities pertinent to petroleum generation. Most samples comprised >90% amorphous organic matter (AOM). Prior to and during the early phase of petroleum generation, kerogen densities range between 1.18 and 1.25 g cm - 3 . During peak and late stage petroleum generation, densities increase to ∼1.35 g cm - 3 as hydrogen indices decrease from ∼350 to 50 mg HC/g C. The data are qualitatively consistent with the loss of alkyl carbon from kerogen to petroleum and the increased aromatization of remaining carbon. The density increase observed for AOM contrasts with the data for vitrinite, which exhibits a decrease in density at maturity levels relevant to petroleum generation. The contrasting behavior of AOM and vitrinite is thought to reflect the differing structural composition of the two kerogen types, most obviously the greater initial aromaticity of vitrinite.

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
