Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the last decade, high-resolution petrographic examinations of the sedimentary record revealed that greenalite was deposited across several continental margins and throughout many Archean successions. What physical and chemical processes could be responsible for this distribution? Combined sedimentological observations and geochemical results identify and strongly constrain greenalite’s origins in Precambrian sediments, specifically for iron formation deposits. Although greenalite often formed as a pore water or bottom water precipitate, the Precambrian greenalite factory may have resided at the interface between subseafloor hydrothermal vent fluids and anoxic seawater. Once formed, however, greenalite’s stratigraphic distribution was ultimately controlled by its susceptibility to oxidation, a property first recognised by geologists over 120 years ago.

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.

Not 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.
