Duxbury collection database
Red/green anaglyph from the Duxbury collection.
Access high quality colour images and original plates from the Duxbury collection, a catalogue of Cretaceous dinoflagellate cyst specimens.
The database includes the original plates from Duxbury's 1983 publication, along with new:
- high quality digital images
- videos of the original specimens
- Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) images, providing:
- extended focus images
- red/green anaglyphs, requiring red/green glasses to appreciate the 3D effect
- 3D animations
- animations of the image stack from specimens embedded in a microscope slide
All images and movies have been compressed for display on the web. To play the videos you will need to install the QuickTime plug-in.
The original diagnoses and edits by Duxbury (1983) are included for each taxon, with added notes inferring subsequent changes in taxonomy.
