PALYDISKS

The AASP Data Committee was created in 1988 to promote and facilitate the exchange of palynological information and data via electronic media. The committee now distrubutes 16 Palydisks that reflect the breadth of the organization -- from archeological palynology to Paleozoic acritarachs.

The Palydisks have been donated by various members of AASP. They are original material -- typically associated with publications in Palynology. The Palydisks are in the "public domain" available for exchange, with explicit acknowledgement of the original author.

Currently Palydisks are distributed on 5", 360K, IBM-format, floppy disks, but translation to and from other media is possible. If you're interested in exchanging data, write or call Owen Davis, AASP Data Committee, Phone: (520) 621-7953, Fax: (520) 621-2672, E-mail palynolo@geo.arizona.edu
