  • An organic-rich clayey silt aquitard of variable thickness overlies loose beddings of grey Holocene and orange Pleistocene sandy sediments (both containing OM inclusions) reaching over 40 m depth.

    “An organic-rich clayey silt aquitard of variable thickness overlies loose beddings of grey Holocene and orange Pleistocene sandy sediments (both containing OM inclusions) reaching over 40 m depth 30-32 .”

    From Role of in Situ Natural Organic Matter in Mobilizing As during Microbial Reduction of FeIII-Mineral-Bearing Aquifer Sediments from Hanoi (Vietnam). (2020) · cites this paper as [32]

    The Conclusions (page not provided) describe near-surface clay aquitards of varying thickness above sandy aquifers, grey sediments in two cores, and plant remains in the Holocene sand at Hoang Liet. Section 3.6 reports a core drilled to 42 m, but the text does not establish that both the grey Holocene and orange Pleistocene sands contain organic-matter inclusions or that those sands extend beyond 40 m; it describes the other core as brownish, not orange.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
