THE AGE OF THE ORDOVICIAN KIRKFIELD FORMATION IN ONTARIO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
areas of outcrop, one a band running roughly southeast from Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario, the other a series of more or less disconnected exposures in faulted blocks in the Ottawa Valley and St. Lawrence lowland. Between these two areas lies the pre-Cambrian Frontenac axis. Although considerable distances are involved (Hull is 170 miles from Kirkfield), correlation of beds across the axis have been made with assurance, and formational names defined in one area have been applied to beds in the other. Thus the name Hull has been used for beds in each area. Study of the faunas involved made me suspect that this correlation was incorrect and in 1942 I prepared a paper for the Ottawa meeting of the Geological Society of America, setting forth my views, and suggesting that the local name Kirkfield be revived for the Central Ontario beds, since it implied no correlation. The Ottawa meeting was cancelled, but the abstract of my paper was published. At that time I was dissuaded from publication of my notes by the argument that further detailed field-work was needed for final solution of the problem, and that controversy should be avoided until this could be done. This, I think, was sound

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.
