Elsik, W.C., 1989. An ASCII file bibliography of living and fossil fungi: annotated fungal references: AASP Data Committee, PALYDISK 2.
A comprehensive list of references is basic to the successful study of any fossil group of organisms. An earlier, less complete version, was used at the Fungal Palynomorph Shortcourse given at Louisiana State University (Elsik, 1981a).
Two types of entries are most commonly found in this list:
1) Fossil fungi. Includes all papers that have come to the author's attention. This includes even those in which only one or two specimens were illustrated without identification. References to papers on the Thallophyta of the Precambrian and Paleozoic are included, but a more comprehensive listing was made available by Tappan (1980).
2) Extant fungi. Papers that illustrate living fungi which have fossil representatives, or are comparable, in one feature or another, to fossil forms, are included. Many of these references are from the journal Mycologia, which has been received over the years as one of the benefits of membership in the Mycological Society of America. Many other papers have come through an exchange of reprints.
In addition, a number of references only concern:
1) Stratigraphy. These sources were used to help establish the age of illustrated or described floras.
2) Seeds or seed coats. A few fossil seeds preserve structures, at least in part, similar to fungal fruiting bodies.
3) Other plant tissue. Plant hairs, particularly the peltate forms, have been mistaken for fungi. Other lignified plant cells, either singly, or in clumps, have been mistakenly identified as fungi.
4) Scytinascia - foraminiferal linings. The organic linings of foraminifera. The proloculus, in particular, can mimic very closely the monoporate fungal spore.
5) Incertae sedis. A number of rather featureless organic particles have been referred to the fungi, acritarchs and other fossil groups. Most probably they are lignified angiosperm plant cells.

Elsik, W.C., 1989. An ASCII file Bibliography of Gulf Coast palynology. AASP Data Committee, PALYDISK 3.
Growing interest in the palynology of Gulf Coast Cenozoic sediments has resulted in a bibliography of almost 200 references.
The impetus for this compilation began with a list of references to the palynology of Gulf Coast Cenozoic lignites (Elsik, 1986b). The bibliography is slowly evolving into an all-inclusive list of references to palynology of the Gulf Coast. A few of the references have annotations and a short list of keywords. More keywords will be added to future updates.
The bibliography of almost 200 entries is incomplete, especially in regard to papers on Pleistocene assemblages. Bryant and Holloway (see Bryant and Holloway, 1985) have edited a volume of summary papers which is a good starting point towards understanding late Pleistocene palynology in the source area of the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Future updates to the bibliography will include all references, keywords and corrections that have been communicated to the author in the interim. This current listing will give the serious student a good start in becoming familiar with the published record.
Many of the papers over the past two decades reflect an increased interest in the commercial development of lignites. The major commercial interest is in the older Tertiary strata. The major academic interest is in an understanding of the Pleistocene.
The palynologic ages of most Paleocene and Eocene lignites are well known. Exceptions include the Yegua-Jackson lignite sequence in Zapata and Atascosa counties, Texas, where the palynomorph assemblage in the lignite generally is impoverished. The palynologic content of the associated clays and shales will be required to correlate the section to age standards in the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain.
The importance of palynology in the exploration for petroleum in the northern Gulf of Mexico is increasingly in evidence; the work of Bujak and Davies (1988) is a good example of the sophistification of the tool.

PD5 is a program for drawing pollen diagrams on an IBM-compatible DOS-PC's. It has been designed to draw simple pollen diagrams both on the CRT and on an HP-Plotter. You may also use a DOS graphics screen dump to print a rough diagram on your dot matrix printer. PD5 can draw percentage, concentration, or accumulation rate diagrams. It can display data as either bar-graphs or saw-tooth diagrams. It will allow you to reorder and exclude taxa from a diagram. It also allows you to graphically examine different stratigraphic portions of your data.
Although PD5 can convert counts data to percentages, it is otherwise pretty dumb. It cannot calculate concentrations or accumulation rates. At present it cannot even modify the pollen sum once the data has been submitted (but I am working on this feature). PD5 depends on you, the user, to make the proper decisions and calculations with your spread sheet, data-base, or text editing program before you feed it the data set.

PSS2 (Pollen Spread Sheet v. 2) is a menu-driven spread sheet for entry, manipulation and printing of stratigraphic data. The data can be entered sequentially in rows (types), columns (samples), or in individual cells. The rows and columns can be inserted, deleted, and switched. The program calculates sums, ratios, concentrations, accumulation rates, and performs a variety of transformations such as root, log, or arcsin. The print utility can output counts or percentages in various formats to printer or to file.

           DATABASE OF MESOZOIC AND TERTIARY MEGASPORES

The files on this disk comprise the database used to create the 
"Catalog of Mesozoic and Tertiary Megaspores", published in the AASP 
Contribution Series by D.J. Batten and W.L. Kovach (1990).  

The databases, which are in dBase .DBF format, take up almost 2.5 
megabytes of disk space.  Therefore a hard disk is required.  The 
files also had to be compressed for distribution on a single disk, but 
decompressing them is a simple task.  On this disk is a file called 
MEGASPOR.EXE, which is a self-decompressing file containing the 
database.  
The megaspore database consists of two files: MEGASPOR.DBF, which 
is the main database of species and genera, and MEGAREF.DBF, 
which contains references for all the literature cited in the 
catalog.  The structure of these two files is as follows:

A few notes on the format of the database:
 o Species names followed by ** are junior synonyms or otherwise invalid 
   names.  These are indicated in the catalog with single quotes, but in 
   the database the quotes would disrupt the sort order. 
 o A pair of ^ characters indicates words or phrase that should be 
   italicised. 
 o The MODIF field indicates when that record was added or last modified. 
 o Accented characters that occur in the standard IBM set (e.g. , , ) 
   are included in the reference list, but not the species file.  Many of 
   the more unusual Eastern European and Scandinavian characters could not 
   be represented on the computer and were added to the printed reference 
   list by hand.

MVSP is a package of common multivariate statistical procedures widely used in many areas of biology and geology, as well as other fields. These procedures include principal components analysis (PCA), principal coordinates analysis (PCO), correspondence analysis (CA; also called reciprocal averaging), distance or similarity measures, hierarchical cluster analysis, and diversity indices. This program provides a great deal of flexibility in the analyses, but is simple to use. Options for different forms of these analyses can be chosen from menus and these settings can be saved for future use. Most analyses can be run with as few as half a dozen keystrokes.

MVSP Shareware is limited to 100x100 matrices. An enhanced version of MVSP (MVSP Plus) can be purchased from the author. It is able to analyze very large matrices, with the size only limited by the amount of memory and disk space available (up to 750x750). It can also use the 80x87 math co- processor chip.

This program calculates the INSOLATION (INcoming SOLar radiATION) for all latitudes of the earth, at various time increments, for various time periods in the past and future. The changes in radiation are the result of changes in the Earth's orbit brought about by the gravitational forces of the moon, sun, and other bodies in the solar system -- the Milankovitch hypothesis. The INSOLATN program is based on a FORTRAN program written by Nicholas Pisias, Oregon State University, which is based on a program by Andre Berger. 1978. Journal of Atmospheric Sciences. Univ. Cath. Louvain Contrib 18. It was translated to BASIC by Owen Davis 3/14/84, to Turbo Pascal 10/2/87, and interactive data entry added 10/6/92 with "TechnoJock." The calculations are in Langleys/Day, which are equal to Watts/Square Meter.

Davis, O.K. 1995. Indices and tables of contents for AASP publications: GEOSCIENCE AND MAN vols 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15, and PALYNOLOGY vols. 1-19. AASP Data Committee, PALYDISK 16.
This palydisk contains a table of contents and indices for the journal "PALYNOLOGY" and certain issues of "GEOSCIENCE AND MAN." Seven of the "GEOSCIENCE AND MAN" volumes are AASP publications containing palynology articles, the proceedings and abstracts of the annual meeting, and the group photograph. Volume 13 is a Pleistocene volume containing several palynology articles, but is not an official AASP volume. There are 19 "PALYNOLOGY" volumes, through 1995.

The date are in 4 ASCII files:
readme.txt (this file)
age.txt
authors.txt
topics.txt
volumes.txt
AGE.TXT
Each article is assigned a geological age, if possible.  For this
first attempt, I used the one-letter age codes that are being
used for the SECOND WORLD DIRECTORY OF PALYNOLOGISTS (see
"PALYNOS" 1994 7:2).  It appears that I must adopt a different
code for this index, and subdivide the Mesozoic (sorry to all you
Mesozoic authors.)
Each entry includes the first author, date, first line of the
title, journal, volume, and first page number.  For example
PALEOZOIC
Barss, M.S. 1972 A problem in Pennsylvanian - Permian palynology
     of Yukon Territory. G&M 4 67
Bunner, W.D. 1988 A new species of Dicommopalla (Acritarcha) from
     the Middle Ordovician PAL 13 57

Type "Taxon32" [Enter].
    This will provide the following instructions.
  1. If you are working in Windows, either exit to MS-Dos, or start an MS-Dos session from within Windows.
  2. At the MS-Dos command prompt, create a hard disk subdirectory named \TAXON (md \TAXON)
  3. Move to the new subdirectory (cd \TAXON)
  4. Copy all files from all five diskettes to the \TAXON subdirectory (copy A:*.*).
  5. From the \TAXON subdirectory, type UNZ512X3 [Enter]; (this decompresses a utility that will subsequently be used to decompress data files as you search them).
  6. Decompress the file ZIP20X.ZIP with the command: UNZIP ZIP20X.ZIP [Enter].
  7. Type TAXON [Enter]; this will activate the system.
  8. (Optional) Add the \TAXON subdirectory to the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and reboot. This will allow TAXON to be invoked anywhere in your system.

Lentin, J. 2000. ANGIOASK.EXE and DINOASK.EXE Graphical Keys for Palynomorph Identification. Data Files and Tables from AASP Foundation Contibutions Series 35. AASP Data Committee, PALYDISK 19.

This palydisk contains two DOS programs that are picture-keys for the identification of pollen (ANGIOASK.EXE) or dinoflagellate cysts (DINOASK.EXE). A 34 page manual, written in MS Word, is included. Operation of the programs is simple and intuitive. Unpack the "paly19.exe" zip file by "running" it from a dos prompt, windows "run," or windows "explorer." Once the palydisk is unzipped, either ANGIOASK or DINOASK can be run in a DOS window. The initial screen displays (one page at a time) the palynomorph characters. Simply click (quick tap!) one one or more of the graphical images to select each character, use [page up] or [page down] to move among the hundreds of images, then touch or click on [F1 - Select] to produce a list of the palynomorphs with all of the selected characters. Click on the letter codes of this list to read detailed bibliographic data for each palynomorph. [RETURN]
