MIDDLE TO UPPER CAMBRIAN LINGULIFORMEAN BRACHIOPODS FROM THE DEADWOOD FORMATION OF SUBSURFACE ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Limestone beds intercalated within a succession of sandstones, siltstones, and shales of the subsurface Deadwood Formation, cored in two wells in Alberta and Saskatchewan, yielded twelve species assigned to eight genera of organophosphatic brachiopods (Subphylum Linguliformea). The nine species recovered from the Alberta well are Marjuman (late Middle to early Late Cambrian) in age. Three of these species, Neotreta davidi Popov, Berg-Madsen, and Holmer, 1994; Picnotreta debilis Henderson and MacKinnon, 1981; and Stilpnotreta magna Henderson and MacKinnon, 1981, are associated with the Mindyallan (early Late Cambrian) of Queensland, and are previously unknown from Laurentia. This brachiopod fauna occurs with a diverse fauna of paraconodont species. The Saskatchewan well yielded three species of Linnarssonella, belonging to the upper Steptoean to the lower Sunwaptan (middle Late Cambrian). One new subfamily, Neotretinae, is erected, and two new species, Rhondellina albertensis, and Linnarssonella tubicula are described. Linnarssonella elongata Bell, 1941, is reinstated as a valid species. This fauna occurs with a diverse fauna of paraconodont species and is overlain, 226 feet higher, by conodonts of the Early Sunwaptan Proconodontus Zone.
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.
