To investigate this issue, the paleogeographic implications of recent advancements in the biostratigraphy of the lower to upper Maastrichtian, transitional-marine strata in the Raton Basin are explored. In southern Colorado, the western shoreline of the WIS should be shifted about 100 km farther west than current projections for the end of the early Maastrichtian. Strong marine connections among the WIS, the Gulf of Mexico, and the North Atlantic appear to have persisted at least until the end of the early Maastrichtian. A marine connection between the WIS and the Gulf of Mexico is projected to have lasted through the end of the Cretaceous. Closure of the WIS to the Arctic Ocean is projected to have occurred earlier and farther north than other models, which close the WIS to the Arctic Ocean through the formation of the Dakota Isthmus in the latest Maastrichtian. Closure of the WIS in Canada during the early late-Maastrichtian (Hoploscaphites birkelundae ammonite biozone) appears to have permitted the dispersal of land plants, such as “Cissites” panduratus and Credneria protophylloides, among landmasses previously isolated by epeiric seaways covering much of North America and western Greenland during the Late Cretaceous and is consistent with preexisting biostratigraphic constraints on the paleogeography of the WIS.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
