Databases and data sets

  • DSDP Data. "At this site, 2093 data files of the Deep Sea Drilling Project can be downloaded individually. The files were collated and converted to spreadsheet format from the DSDP CD-ROM by Dr. Pierre Zippi. The conversion process and file format is described in detail at Dr. Zippi's PAZ Software Website." (from the website).
  • The complete and original PalyDisks: A Series of Palynological data sets provided by the AASP Data Committee.
  • DINOFLAJ. " is a database system containing a current classification of fossil and living dinoflagellates down to generic rank, and an index of fossil dinoflagellates at generic, specific, and infraspecific ranks... A glossary and an extensive list of references for modern and fossil dinoflagellate taxonomic references are included...." (from the about page of the DINOFLAJ website). Produced by Fensome, McRae & Williams at the Bedford Institute in Halifax.
  • A small subset of the Jansonius & Hill (1976) index card file is up on the University of East London site.
