“The apparently unique physicochemical properties of some bacterial magnetite crystals has led to speculation (McKay et al., 1996; Thomas-Keprta et al., 2001) that they can be used as potential biomarkers in the search for past life on Earth and other planets (see Section 5).”

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.
