Biostratigraphical study of the Middle-Upper Jurassic ammonite association of Stretta Arancio’s section (Southern Sicily, Italy).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This stratigraphical study is part of the revision work that has been carried out for the last ten years on some Jurassic successions outcropping in Southwestern Sicily. For this purpose, a synthesis of the data on the Middle-Upper Jurassic sequence from Stretta Arancio, near Sambuca di Sicilia (Agrigento Province) have been described in this paper. The deposits, constituting the succession of this area, are part of the Monte Magaggiaro-Pizzo Telegrafo Unit that belongs to a large tectonic unit located in the outer part of the Apennine-Maghrebide chain. During the Mesozoic Era, this Unit was part of the Saccense Domain, an area palaeogeographically located along the southern margin of Tethys. The studied succession consists of about 7 m of condensed pelagic limestones spanning from Middle to Upper Jurassic and covered by Upper Cretaceous limestones of the “Scaglia” type. The biostratigraphic study of Stretta Arancio has allowed us to identify the chronostratigraphic age and some biozones from Middle Jurassic (Middle Bathonian) to Upper Jurassic (Tithonian). Moreover, the taphonomic analysis of the recorded ammonite associations has given evidence of the presence of an important stratigraphic gap at the Bathonian-Oxfordian boundary, involving a registratic gap (i.e. a gap of the corresponding recording entity or Taxorrecord) of variable extent. Furthermore, this study has firstly allowed to assign the fossil assemblages to the Mediterranean Province and, secondly, to increase knowledge of the faunal associations of the area related to the pelagic carbonate platform system of Saccense Domain for the Middle-Upper Jurassic stratigraphic range.

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.
