Palaeobathymetric chart for LP51 limestone
The LP51 palaeobathymetric synthesis is a model output whose uncertainty is inherited from taxonomy, ecological range and transport history. The displayed overlap should be recalculated with abundance weighting and a leave-one-taxon-out test so reviewers can see whether one questionable identification controls the result.

Geological interpretation and evidential boundary
The LP51 palaeobathymetric synthesis is a model output whose uncertainty is inherited from taxonomy, ecological range and transport history. The displayed overlap should be recalculated with abundance weighting and a leave-one-taxon-out test so reviewers can see whether one questionable identification controls the result. Carbonate microfacies supplies an independent check, but diagenesis and downslope redeposition can decouple texture from original water depth. The correct conclusion is a ranked environmental interval with stated alternatives, not an exact palaeodepth. Agreement among benthic ecology, planktonic proportion, wackestone fabric and mapped basin position would justify higher confidence; discordance is evidence to investigate rather than suppress.
