Stereom microstructure of columnal latera: a character for assessing phylogenetic relationships in articulate crinoids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The stereom microstructure of columnal latera in various articulate crinoids is examined to ascertain its potential application in phylogenetic studies. Most show either a poorly ordered labyrinthic stereom or a more regularly ordered perforate stereom with lumina arranged in an en echelon pattern. Labyrinthic stereom is taxonomically widespread and is interpreted here as the plesiomorphic state. Perforate stereom, typically with an en echelon arrangement of elliptical lumina, appears confined to the Isocrinina and is considered to be apomorphic for that group. The absence of any development of perforate stereom in the bourgueticrinid Democrinus suggests that the bourgueticrinids have affinities with the comatulids rather than with the isocrinids. A second type of perforate stereom, with sinuous or straight lines of circular to elongate lumina, has been found only in Pentacrinites and may be autapomorphic for that group. The shape and spacing of stereom lumina on the columnal latera of different genera of isocrinids displays minor variation that may have some value for assessing phylogenetic affinity at genus and family level in taxa known only from columnals.

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.
