“The presence of ancient river channels, deltas, and sedimentary deposits throughout the region (Kreslavsky & Head, 2002a) strongly suggest that these lowlands may have once held an ancient ocean or a large body of water (e.g., Baker et al., 1991; Boyce et al., 2005; Carr & Head, 2019).”

“This together with its basal escarpment has led to suggestions that its earliest history included subglacial eruptions, consistent with the possibility that shallow seas were sometimes present in the nearby northern plains (Baker et al., 1991; Carr & Head, 2003, 2010).”

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.
