The ubiquitous presence of bed-capping cements in BST bearing beds of all deposits analyzed suggests that they may have acted as a barrier, reducing porosity at the bed tops and restricting diffusion of oxidants into the sediments.
“The ubiquitous presence of bed-capping cements in BST bearing beds of all deposits analyzed suggests that they may have acted as a barrier, reducing porosity at the bed tops and restricting diffusion of oxidants into the sediments (9).”

BST deposits accumulated under anoxic or dysoxic bottom waters.
“It is broadly accepted that BST deposits accumulated under anoxic or dysoxic bottom waters (4, 9, 12, 28)”
From Mechanism for Burgess Shale-type preservation (2012) · cites this paper as [9]
With oxygen-deficient conditions in the overlying bottom waters and burial in anoxic sediments, microbial degradation of soft-tissues with O2 was insignificant.
“Hence, with oxygen-deficient conditions in the overlying bottom waters and burial in anoxic sediments (4, 9, 12, 28), microbial degradation of soft-tissues with O2 was insignificant.”

Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for BST preservation, but none have been previously tested.
“Although several hypotheses have been proposed to account for BST preservation (4, 9, 13), none have been previously tested”

Claystone beds are cemented by pervasive micron-sized authigenic calcium carbonates, which are concentrated at bed tops and penetrate downward.
“Claystone beds are cemented by pervasive micron-sized authigenic calcium carbonates (9, 17), which are concentrated at bed tops and penetrate downward (Fig. 2 B–E and SI Appendix, Figs. S2–S4).”

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.
