Abstract
Abstract: In the deep-marine stratigraphic record classical turbidites are common and when complete comprise five vertically stacked units, which in ascending order are termed the a to e divisions. The b division consists of planar lamination, which in almost all cases is overlain by ripple cross-stratification of the c division. Conspicuously absent in this succession is dune cross-stratification, which for sediments coarser than middle fine sand in a decelerating flow should occur between the planar-stratified and ripple cross-stratified units. Here it is argued that the paucity of dune cross-stratification is the result of the deleterious effect of suspended sediment on dune inception. Specifically, high suspended-sediment concentration, and hence high density, in the bottom part of the parent turbidity current prevents the development of a sufficiently sharply defined interface between the bottom part of the current and the dense, underlying bed-load layer. This results in the absence of the necessary hydrodynamic instability whose waveform structure along the interface would otherwise mould the bed surface into the incipient bed forms from which dunes (and also ripples) grow. The almost exclusive occurrence of ripple cross-stratification above planar lamination suggests that in almost all natural turbidity currents a sufficiently well developed density interface does not become established until flow speed is in the ripple stability field.

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.
