Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Wood (? Salix sp.) from a concretionary nodule found at - 43 m a.s.l. at the Green Creek, Ontario, site was dated at 9 960 ± 820 BP (GSC-2498). The carbonate concretion has an apparent age of 14 400 ± 250 BP (GSC-2530). The wood date is a maximum age for the enclosing sediment and for its cementation; the carbonate date appears anomalous. At the time of the upper limit of error for the wood date (10 780 BP) Champlain Sea stood at or above 100 m a.s.l. The true age of the wood probably is compatible with that of freswhater shells at - 53 m a.s.l. at Bourget, Ontario (10 200 ± 90; GSC-1968), and of wood at - 61 m a.s.l. at Hawkesbury, Ontario (9 860 ± 330; BGS-257). Terrace sediments at ~ 43 m a.s.l. probably are of freshwater origin. Terrestrial and freshwater flora and fauna in earlier collections of concretions from Green Creek also suggest an estuarine to freswhater environment for the enclosing sediments. Occurrence of complete skeletons of fish and other vertebrates in concretions is related to chemically induced carbonate cementation during early stages of putrefaction of soft-bodied animals. This could preserve skeletal remains through several cycles of erosion. Therefore some concretions carry fossil remains that may be allochtonous to the sediment in which they now occur.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
