Where it stands

Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

Re-picking the rear line's boundary lower gives similar velocities and thickness on all sides.
Cores show reef fabric in the low-velocity zone.

What would rule it out

Cores showing a weathering gradient with depth that matches the seismic boundary on every side.

Evidence 1 for · none against

Harrell shows that a lower boundary on the rear line yields similar velocities for all three profiles.
