Carolann Schack my talented collaborator made some #bryozoan cookies over Xmas. How many genera can you name??

Another strange #marine skeleton: this is Securiflustra securifrons. Like others in thread below, it looks like plant. But it's actually #bryozoan: colonial animal made up of thousands of tiny animal-like organisms that act together as one complex creature! Chapel St Leonards beach, Lincolnshire.

Screw it! It's #FossilFriday & we can combine #history & #paleontology if we wanna🪛

From ancient Greece to the Carboniferous, the name #Archimedes holds weight...just be sure not to mix up the #bryozoan & the mathematician 😉

The figured #bryozoan is a “cross” between a Fenestrulina and a Celleporella (that’s the best I could do with my poor “drawing” skills on cakes! Congratulations Mali! You are amazing!

Magnificent bryozoan: What are the giant blobs floating in US waters? - CBBC Newsround It might look like a giant gummy bear, or a brain-shaped blob...like something from another planet maybe? But actually this blob was found on Earth floating in a US lake...

It is this science, that breathes life into Science Fiction.

The tide left behind a multitude of beauties in the sand yesterday. I said “look at the pretty kelp!” But on further investigation it is actually lacy bryozoan - colonies of tiny marine animals fused together. 😁

Spotted just one #bryozoan colony during a dive today. Probably #Plumatella sp. Not a sharp photo, but it's better than no photo. A pretty cool find if I say so myself. #scubadiving #underwater #biology.

This is a great way to put an end to this academic year and start my vacation 😬

Thanks, Blanca, for leading this effort! 💪

We are having a lot of fun working together, so more #bryozoan #microbiome collabs will be happening soon 😊

are there any #bryozoan or #marineinvertebrate scholars out there with a general info essay to share?! i not sure I even know the right hashtags!

So why are fossils so interesting? This is a good example of what can be learned from studying this Stictoporellina cribrosa along with other fossilized examples of this animal. #bryozoan #FossilFriday

A small, irregularly shaped piece of grey limestone bearing a fragment of a fan-shaped fossil bryozoan colony. The flattened, foliate form is pierced by numerous ovoid perforations. Tiny dark holes in the mineralized skeletal framework mark the locations of hundreds of zooecia -- chambers that housed the individual bryozoan animals (zooids). Large pieces of delicate zooaria like this are seldom found intact.

Stictoporellina sp. cf. S. cribrosa - a cryptostomate #bryozoan. The delicate, lacy, mineralized colony (zoarium) stood erect on seafloor; water flowed thru openings (fenestrules) to facilitate filter feeding.

Bryozoans (simple marine invertebrates, also known as 'moss animals') can create lacey, coral-like colonies, as seen here on a dead crab's leg.

Marine oddities get me through winter!

66 million years ago, a fish chewed up and spit out food. It's now a fossil in Denmark The fossil was found at a cliff in Denmark. Fossilized vomit is called regurgitalite, and it's a type of trace fossil, which tells scientists about an organism's daily life.
