#BRYOZOANS
(1/2)
Resembling the tiny parts of an impossibly intricate and eye-catching timepiece, strewn from a watchmakers toolkit, these are in fact fossil Crinoids, Corals, Bryozoans and Brachiopods.

Back to bryozoans for this #FossilFriday with a sample of free-living (lunulite) cheilostomes from the Chalk of Rügen, Germany. Spot the crinoid interloper.

Fossilized Crinoid stems and segments, Cup corals and Bryozoans. Ghosts of tiny carboniferous era marine lives emerging in almost perfect detail from the surrounding rock.
County Donegal, Ireland.

ANTARCTIC Cerioporine bryozoans! id'd by Phil Bock! Weird kind of stony ball forms! Can only imagine what they were like alive! #bryozoanstoday.

#MolluskMonday, #Crustmas edition: scallop encrusted with acorn barnacles! Bonus cheilostome bryozoans, but don't miss the abraded barnacle base plates either. 🧪⚒️🦪

Oh. You're hot. Why don't you go over there and make out with that other hot person, while I go over here to consult these Bryozoans to see if I can't come live in their swamp.

#FossilFriday One of my favourite bryozoans to kick-off 2025, Herpetopora, a runner-like cheilostome here growing across the shell of a Chalk inoceramid bivalve.

During the Silurian Period, 430 million years ago, equatorial reef systems developed in the seas. The reefs were home to all kinds of invertebrates and among the most plentiful were brachiopods, bryozoans, and gastropods, seen in this specimen in our collection.

A whole world inside a big shell.
This was the inside of the horse mussel shell. It had been empty a long time. It's full of bryozoans (moss animals) and tube worms.

#FossilFriday Space, the final frontier. Branching cyclostome bryozoan battling it out for living space with two cheilostome bryozoans on a shell from the Early Pleistocene Nukumaru Limestone, Whanganui Basin, New Zealand.
