The first Odonata from the early Eocene Allenby Formation of the Okanagan Highlands, British Columbia, Canada (Anisoptera, Aeshnidae and <i>cf</i>. Cephalozygoptera, Dysagrionidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Fossil insects have been collected and described from the early Eocene Allenby Formation of southern British Columbia, Canada for over a century, but these have never included Odonata. We describe the first members of that order from the formation: Allenbya holmesae , new genus and species, most likely belonging to the Dysagrionidae (suborder Cephalozygoptera), and a torn, folded, and incomplete wing assigned to the Aeshnidae (suborder Anisoptera) that cannot be identified below family level. In other regional deposits of the early Eocene Okanagan Highlands series of lacustrine shales, the Dysagrionidae is by far the most common odonate family, followed by the Aeshnidae.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
