Trilobites from the<i>Cedaria prolifica</i>Zone (Cambrian, upper Guzhangian) of the Precordillera of Mendoza, western Argentina
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Trilobites from the upper Guzhangian of the southern Argentine Precordillera, preliminarily described by Carlos Rusconi in the 1950s, are revised herein. The specimens studied were collected from an allochthonous limestone block of La Cruz Olistoliths at 200 m northwest of Estancia San Isidro locality (San Isidro area, Mendoza). Taxa compriseKormagnostus seclusus(Walcott, 1884),Cedaria prolificaWalcott, 1924,C.puelchanaRusconi, 1954,Tricrepicephalus texanus(Shumard, 1861),Meteoraspis metra(Walcott, 1890),Coosia conicephala(Rusconi, 1954) new combination,Coosella texana? Resser, 1942,Nasocephaluscf.N. nasutusWilson, 1954, andOlenoides proa(Rusconi, 1954) new combination. The North American generaMeteoraspisResser, 1935 andNasocephalusWilson, 1954 are reported confidently from South America for the first time. This assemblage is representative of theCedaria prolificaZone, which correlates with the lowerCrepicephalusZone of the traditional North American genus-based zonation. Most of the genera and species identified were previously described exclusively from Canada, the United States, and northwestern Mexico, a fact that provides new support to an allochthonous Laurentian origin of the Argentine Precordillera.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
