Paskapoo groundwater study part IV: detailed outcrop measured sections of the Paskapoo formation in the Red Deer region, Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Paskapoo Formation, of Paleocene age, is an important, but poorly understood groundwater aquifer in western Alberta, and is now emerging as a shallow gas reservoir. Because the Paskapoo represents the bedrock at surface over its area of occurrence, and has not previously been a major hydrocarbon target, there has been little study of outcrop or subsurface data. This report summarizes outcrop fieldwork along the Red Deer River, in an east-west transect, both eastward and westward of the city of Red Deer, where Paskapoo rocks are intermittently exposed. In this report, the information is presented as 12 standard measured sections, with text descriptions of units and paleocurrent data, which (from east to west) approximate a continuous succession of the lower and middle portions of the formation. The lower Paskapoo is characterized by thick, multi-storied fluvial channel sandstones (Haynes Member) with dispersal toward the east-northeast. The middle Paskapoo comprises primarily thinly interbedded siltstones and sandstones (Lacombe Member) also with dispersal toward the east-northeast. This report is meant to be complementary to two other Open File reports: one on the Paskapoo (and related stratigraphic units) of the Calgary region (GSC OF 5536), and a second describing relevant cores in the central Alberta region (GSC OF 5537).
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.

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.
