This information in DINOFLAJ3 is based on the latest edition of the Lentin and Williams Index ([[Williams et al., 2017]]). For a detailed description of the nomenclatural approach and format of DINOFLAJ3, refer to the [[INTRODUCTION|Introduction]]. #The classification of fossil and living dinoflagellates down to generic rank, where it is linked where possible with the Index information. The classification is based on [[Fensome et al., 1993b|Fensome et al. (1993b)]], but has not been updated for the present version. #Other information and illustrations on fossil dinoflagellates as appropriate and available, including [[:Category:References|full reference information]] updated from the above sources and a [[:Category:Glossary|glossary of terms]]. Information is hyperlinked for convenient browsing. The Lentin and Williams Index edition equivalent to DINOFLAJ3 can be downloaded as a [[PDF document|PDF document]] from the [http://palynology.org/contribution-series-number-48-the-new-lentin-and-williams-index-2017/ AASP-TPS website]. DINOFLAJ3 supersedes [http://dinoflaj.smu.ca/dinoflaj2 DINOFLAJ2] ([[Fensome et al., 2008]]), which in turn superseded DINOFLAJ v.1 ([[Fensome et al., 1998d]]; Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3653). Information will be updated periodically in the form of new formal versions of DINOFLAJ. In order to avoid confusion, it is recommended that the version always be indicated when citing DINOFLAJ. Past versions will be archived and kept available. This new version of DINOFLAJ is released in conjunction with (and slightly later than) a new version of the Lentin and Williams Index ([[Williams et al., 2017]]). One difference in content between DINOFLAJ3 and the latest Index is that "nomenclatural novelties" are proposed in the latter and are treated as already accomplished in the former. We recommend that formal reference to the Index is preferable to reference to DINOFLAJ3 (i.e. [[Williams et al., 2017]]), but should reference to the DINOFLAJ3 database be required, we recommend the following: Williams, G.L., Fensome, R.A., and MacRae, R.A., 2017.
