Santonian-early Maastrichtian radiolarian biostratigraphy of the northern mainland coast of Arctic Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Forty-six species of radiolarians recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Smoking Hills and Mason River formations in the Northwest Territories represent the first assemblage of this age from mainland Arctic Canada. Four interval zones and two subzones, calibrated to radiometric ages, are proposed based on the lowest and highest occurrence of index radiolarian species. These are 1) the Santonian/early Campanian Kuppelella aff . cayeuxi Zone, 2) the middle Campanian Diacanthocapsa aff. rotunda Zone (subdivided into the Kreuzstella vierkantiga and Lithostrobus borealis subzones), 3) the late Campanian Canadasphaera inuita Zone, and 4) the early Maastrichtian Stichomitra cf. communis-Xitus sp. B Zone. Integration of these radiolarian biozones with previously reported diatom, silicoflagellate, palynological and foraminiferal biozones and new radiometric ages indicate a middle Coniacian-middle Campanian age for the Smoking Hills Formation and a middle Campanian-late Maastrichtian (probably Paleocene) age for the Mason River Formation. The radiolarian assemblages reported here resemble those of the North Slope of Alaska and western Siberia , allowing for biostratigraphic correlations within the Arctic Realm.

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.
