“The peak of the inner topographic ring (arrow in Fig. 10) imaged in the seismic data has an average diameter of ~80 km (Morgan et al. 1997;Morgan andWarner 1999a and1999b).”

In the citing paper
“The topographic peak ring in the seismic data has a width of 5-10 km, as expressed on the apparent crater floor, and rises up to 600 m above the apparent floor of the structure (Fig. 10; Morgan et al. 1997;Morgan andWarner 1999a and1999b).”

In the citing paper
“The final crater diameter at Chicxulub has generally been quoted as ~180 km, primarily on the basis of the outer edge of the gravity low (Hildebrand et al. 1998), and between 180 and 200 km on the basis of faults in the target rock observed on marine seismic reflection data (e.g., Fig. 11; Morgan et al. 1997).”

In the citing paper
“Some degree of consensus was only reached after Chicxulub had been imaged by a marine reflection seismic survey (Fig. 10; Morgan et al. 1997), which indicated that it was a multi-ring basin, with an inner topographic peak and one or, possibly, two outer ring structures in the form of faults at diameters of ~195 km (monocline, normal fault with a throw of ~400-500 m into the structure and a dip of”

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.
