GEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SOME HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Several historic buildings and structures in Newfoundland contain stone as an integral or, at least functional/artistic, part of their design. Stone was examined in historic buildings in Corner Brook, Brigus, Harbour Grace and St. John’s, and rock walls were examined at the Queen’s Battery in St. John’s, in Brigus, and in Grates Cove. In Corner Brook, local limestone and glacial erratics have been used to construct walls and gate posts and imported cut and polished marble was used for the staircase in the Corner Brook Museum. The Queen’s Battery wall used local stone capped and faced with imported sandstone. The Presentation Convent in St. John’s is faced with imported (probably Irish) and Holyrood Granite. The Stone Barn in Brigus used stone from Kellys Island; local stone was used in Brigus for church foundations and retaining walls. The Conception Bay Museum used local stone for the foundations and a large amount of granite from the late 19 th century quarries at The Topsails in central Newfoundland. This indicates that the present building could not have been built in 1870 (as considered by some) as the quarries had not yet opened. At Grates Cove, the 18 th century walls are constructed from local siltstone fieldstones.

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.
