Full assemblage counts as well as morphological measurements for each specimen (area, feret max, feret min, thickness and mass). The images these measurements were completed on are also included. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 982 (57°30.992'N, 15°52.001'W; 1134m water depth) located in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the Rockall Plateau. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1090 (42°54.5 ′ S, 8°54.0 ′ E; 3702m water depth) located in the South Atlantic Ocean on the southern flank of the Agulhas Ridge. Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 594 (45°31.41'S; 174°56.88'E; 1204m water depth) located on the southern margin of Chatham Rise, to the east of the South Island of New Zealand. ODP Site 999 (12°44'N, 78°44'W) located on the Kogi Rise in the Colombian Basin of the southwestern Caribbean Sea Tom Dunkley Jones University of Birmingham School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Birmingham B15 2TT not available originator Emma Hanson University of Birmingham not available originator Morgan Gall University of Birmingham not available originator Enquiries British Geological Survey United Kingdom not available distributor Enquiries British Geological Survey United Kingdom not available pointOfContact notApplicable https://resources.bgs.ac.uk/images/geonetworkThumbs/5268aae0-e89b-e5e1-e063-3050940ad866.png Geology GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Fossil assemblage Coccolith Pliocene Pleistocene BGS Thesaurus of Geosciences 2022 revision NGDC Deposited Data Citable Data dataCentre NERC_DDC otherRestrictions restricted The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section.

SYRACO uses neural network algorithms to classify coccoliths and to complete morphometric measurements, in particular mass, thickness and length, from segmented images, allowing a quick through flow of identification and a standardised classification of coccolith assemblages.
