Higher BIs indicated recently for the Ediacaran consist of serially repeated elements identical to problematic body fossils, arguing against a trace-fossil origin.
“Higher BIs have been indicated recently for the Ediacaran [23], but the illustrated structures consist of serially repeated elements, identical to those in problematic body fossils such as Helanoichnus , Palaeopascichnus and Shaanxilithes [24], arguing against a trace-fossil origin [25].”

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.
