Jaws and dentition in an Early Triassic, 3-dimensionally preserved eugeneodontid skull (Chondrichthyes)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neutron scans of a concretion with a 3-dimensionally preserved partial skull from the Lower Triassic Vega Phroso Siltstone Member of the Sulphur Mountain Formation (western Canada), previously assigned to Caseodus, reveal that upper jaws were absent in this eugeneodontid. Large, anteriorly deep lower jaws housed relatively few and large tooth files and enclosed a narrow anterior mouth cavity together with the symphysial tooth whorl, which is situated on the mandibular rostrum. The symphysial teeth are slender-conical in antero-occlusal view and do not appear to possess a transversal crest. The taxonomic significance of tooth morphology and absence of upper jaws is discussed. This eugeneodontid yields evidence of another group of rather primitive fishes surviving the end-Permian extinction event. The architecture of oral cavity and dentition suggests these chondrichthyans were specialized on preying on disc-shaped or flat, presumably shelled organisms.

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.
