Southern Ontario "Golden Spike" data release: Nobleton borehole
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Nobleton continuously-cored borehole (Golden Spike) is situated on the southern flank of the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) 4.25 km north of Nobleton, Ontario. It was drilled in 1996 as part of the Oak Ridges Moraine Hydrogeology Study of the Geological Survey of Canada. The Nobleton borehole, with a core length of 193 m, is one of the deepest hydro-stratigraphic reference sites in the region. The location was selected to provide subsurface ground truthing for a 7 km long seismic profile completed across a broad bedrock depression known as the Laurentian valley. Detailed sedimentological core logging is complemented by downhole geophysics, grain size analysis, total organic carbon analysis, and nested piezometer installation. The base of the borehole intercepts limestone of the Paleozoic Lindsay Formation. Overlying Quaternary deposits interpreted to be Don, Scarborough, Sunnybrook and Thorncliffe formations, referred to as Lower sediment, are overlain by Oak Ridges Moraine sediment and Halton Till. Of particular note is the large number of rhythmites documented in the Scarborough (500) and Thorncliffe (1000) formations and the distinct geophysical signatures associated with these rhythmites. In contrast to the relatively fine grained rhythmic character of these deeper formations is a basal 20 m thick gravel unit and overlying sandier ORM deposits. The Nobleton golden spike borehole provides new hydrogeological insight on Lower sediment (Alliston Aquifer), tunnel channel fills that may host significant aquifer potential, and Oak Ridges Moraine sediment that is an important aquifer for domestic water supply.

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.
