Abstract
The unique fossil fauna from the Lode clay quarry, lower Frasnian, Latvia, includes a diverse ichthyofauna of at least 15 taxa of agnathans and gnathostomes, representing most of the major taxa of Devonian vertebrates. Six new fish taxa (five species and one genus) were discovered during the last ten years. Exceptionally well-preserved juvenile fishes (<i>Asterolepis ornata, Lodeacanthus gaujicus</i>) provide unique data on ontogenetic change. Diverse arthropods are recorded. Parasitic platyhelminth remains in juvenile fish bodies is their first discovery in the fossil record, and represents the oldest parasitic association ever found. A complete faunal and floral list for the Lode quarry is presented, with a detailed biostratigraphic section. Comparison of vertebrata taxa from the Gauja Regional Stage with similar of the Main Devonian Field, Scotland, Timan, Canada, and Germany is reviewed. <br><br> Die einzigartige Lebensgemeinschaft von Lode repräsentiert eine diverse Fischfauna nahezu aller Hauptwirbeltiertaxa, die im Devon lebten. Sechs neue Fischtaxa (5 Arten und 1 Gattung) wurden in den letzten zehn Jahren in den Unter-Frasnium-Schichten der Ziegeleigrube von Lode in Lettland entdeckt. Insgesamt sind 15 identifizierte und unbestimmte Fisch- und Agnathen-Arten von dort bekannt. Besondere Beachtung wurde den außergewöhnlich gut erhaltenen Jugendformen von <i>Asterolepis ornata</i> und <i>Lodeacanthus gaujicus</i> und verschiedenen Invertebraten (Crustacea, Merostomata) gespendet, die in einer einzigen Linse fein verteilten Tones gefunden wurden. Reste parasitischer Platyhelminthen, die in Jungfischen auftreten, wurden hier zum ersten Mal als Fossilien entdeckt; sie repräsentieren die älteste bisher gefundene parasitische Gemeinschaft. Eine Liste der organischen Reste aus den Schichten der Ziegeleigrube Lode wird präsentiert. Ein detailliertes biostratigraphisches Profil wird beschrieben. Die Fischfaunen aus der Gauja Regional-Stufe werden mit denen vom Hauptdevonfeld Russlands, von Schottland, dem Timan, Kanadas und Deutschlands verglichen. <br.><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.20010040108" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.20010040108</a>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
