- Nannotax - interactive database of nannofossil taxa (under development, only Neogene covered to date)
The CODENET site at the NHM
- CODENET - details of the EC TMR project "Coccolithophorid evolutionary biodiversity and ecology network"
- CoccoBiom - NIH-Image macro sets for use with nannofossils (image capture and morphometrics). (under development)
- Culture collection - this is now the largest collection of coccolithophore strains anywhere
The ETH-Zürich Site
- Biostratigraphic and database software developed for use with nannos,
including some free downloads
- GOM Equivalency project - images etc. from the working group trying to systematise Neogene nanno taxonomy in the Gulf of Mexico region

A few other especially relevant sites
- The ICBN - HTML version of the latest edition of the code
- Isao Inouye's Phycological Images gallery, stunning light and electron micrographs of numerous modern coccolithophores, and other phytoplankton (if you have difficulties connecting to Japan be patient, it is worth the wait)
- University College London's MIRACLE Site, includes a decent general introduction to calcareous nannofossils, with many images
- UCL MSc course the 2 week nanno module on this MSc is best available nannofossil training course.
- Chris Brown's E.huxleyi bloom monitoring project overview (including archive of maps of likely blooms).
- Nannofossils at the USGS - outline of what nannos are, links to current projects
- Checklist of phytoplankton in the Skagerrak-Kattegat from Mats Kuylenstierna & Bengt Karlson (Göteborg University) a remarkable illustrated checklist including a surprising diversity of cocolithophores - mostly colour LMs of cells.
- Shiro Nishida'sBiogeography of Nannoplanktons website, a lot of this is in Japanse but it includes some very nice SEMs of modern nannoplankton

- Lyme Regis Fossil Festival something else I am involved with.
