Invertebrate borings from the Eocene of Seven Rivers, parish of St. James, western Jamaica
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The fossil biota of the Eocene Yellow Limestone Group of Jamaica is diverse in vertebrates and, particularly, invertebrates. However, its invertebrate trace fossils remain understudied. Herein, we document the borings of the Seven Rivers vertebrate site in western Jamaica. This is in the Litchfield Formation, high in the Lutetian (about mid-Middle Eocene). The suite of borings identified from this site comprises Apectoichnus longissimus (Kelly and Bromley); Entobia isp.; Oichnus simplex Bromley; and Oichnus paraboloides Bromley. Substrates infested by Entobia isp. include both molluscs and sirenian ribs. Oichnus ispp. occur only in bivalves and are mainly non-penetrative, which may be a taphonomic artifact. Tubes of the common A. longissimus are preserved free from any woody substrates, which have presumably rotted away; however, one specimen has a dark, carbonaceous external film and others have carbonized wood inclusions. The occurrence of A. longissimus in the Jamaican rock record coincides with periods of sub-aerial exposure.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
