<i>Yunfuconcha</i> new genus, a possible stem-archiheterodont bivalve from the Ordovician of Guangdong, South China
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Yunfuconcha bimenta, a new genus and species of bivalve from the Ordovician of western Guangdong, China, is described. Its unusual hinge consists of a palaeotaxodont-like dentition anteriorly and a heteroconch-like dentition posteriorly. The posterior hinge area exhibits a remarkable, broad, deeply inset, concave ligament area, which is reminiscent of the ventrally expanded ligament of some Recent and fossil lucinoids and the triangular resilifer in late Palaeozoic crassatellid heteroconchs. Lamellar posterior teeth and sockets complete the posterior dentition. The unusual combination of features, normally associated with either the Order Cardiolariatida (used here in place of Order ‘Afghanodesmatida’—the type genus Afghanodesma, is known only from wax impressions rendering it and its nominal higher taxa invalid) or various crassatelloids and lucinoids, make systematic placement of Yunfuconcha n. gen. uncertain below subclass rank. In view of presumed derived heteroconch-like characters of the posterior hinge, we place Yunfuconcha n. gen. in the Subclass Autobranchia, possibly as a stem archiheterodont or a stem heteroconch.

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.
