Bryozoa (also known as the Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals) [6] are a phylum of simple, aquatic invertebrate animals, nearly all living in sedentary ...
Prasopora, a trepostome bryozoan from the Ordovician of Iowa. This list of prehistoric bryozoans is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the bryozoa which are known from the fossil record. This list excludes purely vernacular terms.
Fenestella is a genus of bryozoans or moss animals, forming fan–shaped colonies with a netted appearance. It is known from the Middle Ordovician to the early Upper Triassic ( Carnian ), reaching its largest diversity during the Carboniferous .
Archimedes is a genus of fenestrate bryozoans with a calcified skeleton of a delicate spiral-shaped mesh that was thickened near the axis into a massive corkscrew-shaped central structure. The most common remains are fragments of the mesh that are detached from the central structure, and these may not be identified other than by association ...
Bryozoans are animals in the phylum Bryozoa. The phylum is subdivided in 3 classes: Phylactolaemata, Stenolaemata and Gymnolaemata. ... Wikipedia® is a registered ...
Phylactolaemata [1] is a class of the phylum Bryozoa whose members live only in freshwater environments. Like all bryozoans, they filter feed by means of an extensible "crown" of ciliated tentacles called a lophophore, and like nearly all bryozoans (the only known exception being Monobryozoon), they live in colonies, each of which consists of clones of the founding member.
Bryozoology is a branch of zoology specializing in Bryozoa, commonly known as moss animals, a phylum of aquatic invertebrates that live in clonal colonies.
Heterotrypa, a trepostome bryozoan from the Corryville Formation (Upper Ordovician) in Covington, Kentucky. Bryozoans – half of all documented species of Bryozoa are fossils and extinct. [5] Class Stenolaemata / Gymnolaemata [!] (mostly marine, calcareous bryozoans): Order Cheilostomata [!] (living, rimmed-mouthed moss animals)
