Paskapoo groundwater study part V: detailed outcrop measured sections of the Scollard, Porcupine Hills and Paskapoo formations in the Calgary 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 becoming recognized as a shallow-gas reservoir. Because the Paleocene rocks represent the bedrock at surface over their area of occurrence, and have not previously been a major hydrocarbon target, there has been little study of outcrop or subsurface data. This report briefly summarizes outcrop fieldwork, primarily detailed measured sections, in the Bow River corridor, in an east-west transect, both within and west of the city of Calgary, where Porcupine Hills-Paskapoo rocks are intermittently exposed. The material is presented as 15 standard measured sections, with text descriptions of units, and measured paleocurrent data, which approximate a continuous succession of the strata represented in this region. Two main facies are present: a) thick, multistoried fluvial channel sandstones with erosive bases, and b) pedogenically altered siltstones with thin sandstone interbeds and calcrete horizons. This report complements two other Open Files on outcrop sections of the Paskapoo Formation: one on the Red Deer River (GSC OF 5535), and the other on drillcore sections of Paskapoo rocks in central Alberta (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.
