<i>Gunnellichnus bartelsi</i> (isp. nov.): a host-specific trace fossil attributed to the action of algal infections on turtle carapaces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new ichnospecies, Gunnellichnus bartelsi is described on osteic substrates. These traces resulted from the activities of an infection that penetrated through the epidermal scutes on the external surface of turtle carapace and plastron bone. Gunnellichnus bartelsi appears to occur solely, or at least dominantly, on the dermatemydid turtle Baptemys wyomingensis. and only on the carapace of these taxa. Gunnellichnus bartelsi are identical to lesions attributed Carapacial Shell Disease (CSD) on kinosternid turtles, which was shown to be caused by colonization by filamentous algae. Like all Gunnellichnus ichnospecies, G. bartelsi is interpreted to record an infection on unhealthy host organisms, or those that live in stressed environmental settings.

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.
