Conodont Sequence Biostratigraphy of the Lower Triassic Montney Formation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Conodonts have proven to be excellent index fossils to study the subsurface Montney Formation given their small size and regular occurrence in most marine facies. Twenty uppermost Permian to Lower Triassic conodont biozones are summarized and the sequence biostratigraphic framework provides a template demonstrating the correlation potential of the Montney Formation in the Peace River Basin from west-central Alberta to east-central British Columbia. The Montney Formation, which includes three 3rd order depositional sequences that are also recognized globally, naturally subdivides into Lower (Griesbachian-Dienerian; Induan), Middle (Smithian; lower Olenekian), and Upper Montney (Spathian; upper Olenekian). The Early Triassic is 4.8 m.y. in duration, but up to 200 k.y. of the latest Permian are included within the basal Montney. The ages of biozones and sequences are interpolated, but there is still considerable uncertainty in the ages for all levels, but for the base-Induan and base-Anisian.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
