Abstract
Abstract The abandoned gypsum quarry at Dingwall, in Canada, is a unique place with a peculiar “living” landscape created by expansive hydration of anhydrite process actively operating in the weathering zone at the quarry bottom. It causes a rapid volume increase of the rocks and the formation of the unique domed and tepee-like hydration landforms (several meters in length and up to 2.09 m high) with internal hydration caves (swelling caves, German: Quellungshöhlen ). The quarry also shows some rare evaporite minerals, sulphate karst, spheroidal weathering of anhydrite and the other phenomena. Several steps of geoconservation strategy are described to promote Dingwall quarry as a geosite and a geodiversity site: inventory, quantitative assessment, conservation, interpretation, promotion and monitoring. The performed inventory describes the elements of the geoheritage. The quantitative assessment of the site, made according to the method by Brilha ( Geoheritage 8:119–134, 2016), was based on the four aspects: scientific value, potential educational use, potential tourist use and the rate of destruction. For showing the geological heritage, the plan of the site was prepared, with paths for visitors, attendant infrastructure, thematic interpretation panels and plates with QR codes. As a part of the promotion, application of the Internet with already operating sites (e.g. hydrationcave.com) is proposed. In turn, monitoring, with measurements of benchmarks and photographic and photogrammetric documentation, will ensure the proper functioning of the site after establishing it as a geosite and a geodiversity site.

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
