Abstract
The evolutionary history of Pinaceae is documented by numerous fossils, which include a number of anatomically preserved ovulate cones with many systematically informative characters. To date, four extinct genera have been recognized: Pseudoaraucaria, Pityostrobus, Obirastrobus and Eathiestrobus. A new pinaceous cone from the Early Cretaceous of California is described as Pityostrobus pluriresinosa sp. nov., adding to the diversity of known Cretaceous pinaceous cones. Phylogenetic analysis places the new fossil cone in the pinoid clade along with Pinus, Eathiestrobus and numerous species of Pityostrobus. Combined with a non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination, the data reinforce that while Pityostrobus does not represent a natural genus, it likely reflects the rapid evolution of Pinaceae by showing that ovulate cone morphospace was widely occupied by Pityostrobus that has become more restricted in extant genera. Early Cretaceous taxa from Europe and eastern North America show the broadest occupation of morphospace, which then became more restricted to morphologies typical of the pinoid clade in the Late Cretaceous. Taxa from western North America and Asia are more similar to extant genera and occupy a smaller part of the morphospace, highlighting that eastern North America–Europe probably represents an original centre of early diversification for Pinaceae.

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 it
