Abstract
Siliciclastic beds in the upper part of the Miette Group in southeastern British Columbia have yielded an assemblage of late Ediacaran soft-bodied macrofossils and trace fossils. The macrofossils comprise Aspidella , Bradgatia ?, and Miettia salientensis gen. et sp. nov. The ichnofossils include Archaeonassa , Cochlichnus , Didymaulichnus ?, Gordia , Halopoa , Helminthoidichnites , Helminthopsis , Planolites , and a large, unnamed crawling trace. In addition, two types of unidentified problematica are recorded, representing either tubular Vendotaenia -like body fossils, or trace fossils. The Bradgatia? constitutes the youngest occurrence of this type of fossil, and is the first to be recorded from Laurentia, having previously been noted only in Avalonia. With Cloudina and Namacalathus in associated shallow-water platform carbonates, the Miette biota in the study area contains a combination of Namibian-type and Avalonian-type elements.

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.
