Detailed outcrop measured sections of the Eocene White Lake Formation, southern Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The sedimentology of the Tertiary White Lake Formation of the Okanagan Valley of southern British Columbia has never been seriously studied, and is currently poorly-understood. For this preliminary study, three long outcrops were described in detail to provide an initial view of these strata. Aside from minor hydrocarbon and coal exploration in the 20th C, little is known of the resource potential or groundwater potential, and these strata must be viewed as frontier prospects. However, the occurrences are located in an area of quickly increasing population and water use, near important markets. The currently fault-bounded Okanagan Basin is narrow and elongate, geologically complex and the potential is poorly constrained. A relatively high regional geothermal gradient, abundant sandstone/conglomerate potential reservoir/aquifer facies and the location near populous markets suggest significant potential. Facies observed in outcrop include 1) volcanic breccia debris flow conglomerate, 2) high energy braided fluvial conglomerate to pebbly sandstone, 3) fluvial sandstone, 4) pedogenically-altered overbank sandy siltstone, 5) pond/marsh carbonaceous mudstone, and 6) lahar sandflow deposits. Facies 2 and 3 represent potential hydrocarbon reservoir/groundwater aquifer facies. Further progress in analysis and understanding will require concerted geological and geophysical field work, and several stratigraphic test wells.

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.
