Fossil tracks from Tumbler Ridge: a brief history of collaboration between amateurs and academics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Northeastern British Columbia has a long history of vertebrate footprint discoveries and research dating back as early as the 1920s. Initially, the majority of the research attention went to the large-scale in situ track exposures in the Gething Formation (Lower Cretaceous: Aptian/Albian) exposed along the Peace River Canyon near the town of Hudson’s Hope (Sternberg, 1932; Currie, 1989). These tracksites were all flooded in 1979 between the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon Dams (Currie, 1989). Additional large-scale tracksite finds were made along the Narraway River, but these im-pressive in situ track exposures proved to be short lived as well (Sampson and Currie, 1996). Reports of vertebrate footprints from the Dunvegan Formation (Upper Cretaceous: Cenomanian) date back to the 1950s when Charlie Stelck (University of Alberta) collected specimens from the Pine River area (Currie, 1989). Over the years other finds were made in the same area (Storer,

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.
