Deposition of Polar Carbonates During Interglacial Highstands on an Early Permian Shelf, Tasmania
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The early Permian Lower Parmeener Supergroup contains two bioclastic limestones that accumulated during the period of prolonged deglaciation of southern Gondwana as the region moved equatorward from 80° S to 70° S. The Darlington and Berriedale limestones formed in neritic environments, in areas where abundant ice-rafted debris testifies to numerous icebergs and glendonites indicating near-freezing seawater. These limestones consist of argillaceous and clean bioclastic floatstone, rudstone, and grainstone that contain a high-abundance, low-diversity heterozoan assemblage of calcareous invertebrates. The components are dominated by large, robust brachiopods, bryozoans, and Eurydesma bivalves. Sponge spicules and crinoids are also common, whereas coralline algae and conodonts are conspicuously absent. Carbonates were deposited on the middle shelf during sea-level highstands, below the iceberg grounding line, where the faunal communities remained undisturbed. In this setting the organisms were outboard of significant terrigenous sediment influx and brackish water, which were trapped on the inner shelf by bathymetry and icebergs. Strong bottom currents also prevented the deposition of fine-grained siliciclastics by continuous winnowing of the pure limestone facies. Upwelling of nutrient-rich water, inferred from the distribution of phosphate, promoted high primary productivity, which fueled this carbonate factory and inhibited dissolution of the biogenic carbonate.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
