“although pervasive deep mixing of sediments would not be seen until well into the Paleozoic, more than 100 million years after the Ediacaran (Tarhan et al., 2015).”

In the citing paper
“In any case, this hypothesis is largely irrelevant to our discussion, as biological mixing of sediments on marine shelves at the levels required to impact global-scale biogeochemical cycles was delayed well into the Paleozoic (likely at least the late Silurian)—hundreds of millions of years after our ∼800 Ma window (Tarhan 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.
