International "Fossil Algae" Association - The International "Fossil Algae" Association is a non-profit organization interested in promoting the study of fossil algae: taxonomy, morphology, biology, biostratigraphy, palaeo-ecology, mineralization, etc. The scope of this site is to provide some general information on our activities, past and future.

Halimeda - Ed DREW has been studying Halimeda on the Great Barrier Reef for 20 years. This site reflects his unique insight into a remarkable calcareous green Alga, ranging from the daily migrations of its subcellular chloroplasts to the distribution of vast Halimeda meadows visible from space.

Fossil and living Algae - Home Page for this "Fossil and Living Algae" Web-Ring, a ring dedicated to the Algae, fossil or living, and to people studying them. It concerns paleontologists as well as biologists.

La vegetazione marina del Mediterraneo - Giuseppe GIACCONE, Vincenzo DI MARTINO, and Pietro PAVONE have prepared some very interesting pages dealing with living algae and their environments in the Mediterranean Sea. Remark: The site is in Italian language!

Early Cretaceous calcareous Algae - Catalogue of the Early Cretaceous calcareous Algae, dealing mostly with the Dasycladales and their representatives. It includes electronic images of some fossil Algae in thin sections or S.E.M. microscopy.

Home of the fossil Coralline Algae - Michael RASSER is a specialist of the Coralline Algae, a highly complicated group. The identification of fossil coralline algae bears several problems and the intraspecific variability is very high. Their distribution is very wide spread: Corallines occur from the tropics to polar regions, and from the intertidal down to more than 200 m water depths.

Morphogenesis & developmental Genetics of Acetabularia - Dina MANDOLI's lab studies how Acetabularia, a giant (3 cm tall) uninucleate unicellar alga, makes and maintains body region identity during development and morphologenesis.

PETRALGA (PErmian & TRiassic ALGAe) Project - The PETRALGA Project was launched in order to build a solid database for the fossil Algae from the Permian and Triassic epochs. A main going-on sub-project deals with a catalogue for the Dasycladales.
