Heat flow from mantle to surface on early Earth was high, with average mantle temperatures more than 300°C higher than today.
“As noted above, heat flow from the mantle to the surface on the early Earth was high, with average mantle temperatures being more than 300 • C higher than today (Van Kranendonk et al. 2015).”

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.
