Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician conodont communities from platform and slope facies, western Newfoundland: a statistical approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Twelve conodont communities and assemblages in the Cambrian-Ordovician interval of western Newfoundland are recognized by four cluster analyses, which include 18 468 identifiable conodont specimens recovered from 230 conodont-bearing samples from four stratigraphic sections. Each section represents a different facies: platform, upper proximal slope, lower proximal slope, and distal slope. The 12 conodont communities and assemblages were differentiated into pelagic and nektobenthic communities as well as both the assemblages with a mixture of pelagic and nektobenthic communities and transported assemblage. The distribution of conodont communities along the platform-to-slope environmental gradient shows some gradational relationships. Relative sea-level curves derived in part from the distribution pattern of conodont communities reveal a major sea-level drop in the latest Cordylodus proavus Zone time, and two major sea-level rises in the early Iapetognathus fluctivagus Zone time and early Cordylodus angulatus Zone time, respectively.

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.
