Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The discovery of carbonates in exhumed deep crust suggests that the possibility of a large subsurface reservoir cannot be discounted.

    “However, the discovery of carbonates in exhumed deep crust suggests that the possibility of a large subsurface reservoir cannot be discounted (Michalski & Niles 2010).”

  • The deep crust may have been a major sink for atmospheric CO2 over time on Mars.

    “This indicates that regardless of the early surface conditions, the deep crust may still have been a major sink for atmospheric CO 2 over time (Section 3.1).”

  • Fe/Ca-carbonates have been reported in the D ~65 km Leighton crater on the western flank of Syrtis Major, associated with phyllosilicates in layered deposits exposed in Leighton's central uplift from an estimated depth of ~6 km.

    “Fe/Ca-carbonates, expected to precipitate from Martian brines at higher water activity [e.g., Catling, 1999], have been reported in the D ~65 km Leighton crater on the western flank of Syrtis Major [Michalski and Niles, 2010].Here carbonate is associated with phyllosilicates in layered deposits exposed in Leighton's central uplift from an estimated depth of ~6 km.”

  • The association of Fe/Ca-carbonates with complex craters-including Leighton and those around the Huygens basin-suggests impact-related formation and/or exposure of previously buried carbonate.

    “The association of Fe/Ca-carbonates with complex craters-including Leighton [Michalski and Niles, 2010] and those around the Huygens basinsuggests impact-related formation and/or exposure of previously buried carbonate.”

  • Their occurrence across a region >2000 km wide implies that the layered Fe/Ca-carbonate found in Leighton crater's central uplift is but one of many windows into a record of possibly widespread, neutral-to-alkaline aqueous conditions during the pre-Noachian period, preserved mostly in the subsurface.

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.
