A Batrachichnus salamandroides trackway from the Minto Formation of central New Brunswick, Canada: implications for alternative trackmaker interpretations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new specimen of Batrachichnus salamandroides was recovered from a recently discovered fossil-bearingsite situated along the southern shore of Grand Lake, New Brunswick, among a diverse ichnofaunal assemblagefrom the Middle Pennsylvanian (upper Bolsovian; lower Moscovian), upper Minto Formation. The identity ofthe tracemaker of this ichnogenus is reinterpreted as a composite of various late Paleozoic tetrapod taxa, basedon similarities of the postcranial skeletons, notably that of the manus and pes, of both temnospondyls and some“microsaurs”. These results indicate that the tracemaker of the monospecific ichnogenus Batrachnichus is notlimited solely to a temnospondyl tracemaker, as previously interpreted, and that some “microsaurs” should alsobe considered among tracemaker candidates for this ichnotaxon.

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.
