Abstract

Haootia quadriformis was described from the lower Fermeuse Formation of the Bonavista Peninsula of Newfoundland (approx. 560 Ma) and its numerous regularly aligned impressions were interpreted as evidence of muscular tissue ([1, figs 1a and 3b]). Consequently, this fossil could represent the earliest preservation of metazoan musculature in the geological record.

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

  • The interpreted arrangement of muscle fibers in Haootia has been contested, but the polyp gestalt has not, leaving Haootia as a credible candidate total-group cnidarian.

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.
