Bryozoologists alert! Two more days to register for Larwood Oslo! #bryozoan 1-3 June Natural History Museum Oslo! We have more than 40 registrants so far! Come meet your colleagues!
The wonderful @baalsrud.bsky.social led work on a new #bryozoan genome (Flustra foliacea) adding to their macrosynteny story with @oletoerresen.bsky.social @kjetillsj.bsky.social & others @biovitenskap.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jhered/advan... @biovitenskap.bsky.social
2026 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show – Preview #5: Large Archimedes sp. from Alabama #fossils #paleontology #ESCONIShow #Mississippian #Alabama #bryozoan
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 😉

A whooping 26 persons already pre-registered for #bryozoan Larwood 2026! Pls consider pre-registering to help keep costs low! Link to register in quote. Dennis Gordon will be joining us from NZ thx to @uio.no funding! @hardbunnsfauna.bsky.social @glyptocrinus.bsky.social @bryozoology.bsky.social
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!

Pre-registration for the Oslo Larwood #bryozoan is open. Welcome to Oslo 1-3 June 2026. @nhmbryozoa.bsky.social @bryozoology.bsky.social @tschwaha.bsky.social Link to registration in comment under.
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. 😁

The ruins of an underwater kingdom are a gateway to the world of an amazing creature! Come and meet a #Bryozoan…

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. U. #Ordovician (~450 MYA) Verulam Fm, Ramara Tp, Ontario 🇨🇦 Scale bar = 50 mm #FossilFriday
Next: here is a #bryozoan and #brachiopod fragment-rich specimen from the Middle-Silurian Rochester Shale (~430 Ma). #FossilFriday 🤩

This well-camouflaged bryozoan (lace animal) colony appears as sandy "beaded" threads. Its feeding tentacles are only visible in extreme close-up

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!

For Friday joy, posting our work on #bryozoan trait evolution over 2 million years. Mix of natural history, ideas on selection and modeling and inferences, and images and AI. Thank you @asn-amnat.bsky.social for a thorough and thoughtful review process! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
A one week workshop giving 700 newly registered observations of different norwegian #bryozoan species with #NorDigBryo an Artsdatabanken Project artsdatabanken.no with @malihr.bsky.social Jo Porter @nhmbryozoa.bsky.social and colleagues from NTNU and UiB
Clusters of gelatinous goo are seen clinging to underwater vegetation.
A large colony of tiny microorganisms working together as one big gooey ball. Underwater.
Can we take a moment to talk about Pectinatella? Actually a community of microorganisms called bryozoans. Warm, moisturized, flourishing in their lane. Spend a moment with the goo ball colony. #bryozoan #pectinatella #gelatinousgooball #colonial #lakelife #freshwater
66 million years ago, a fish chewed up and spit out food. It's now a fossil in Denmark #crinoid #bryozoan www.npr.org/2025/01/29/n...

#FossilFriday ~300 Ma black shale with a fossilized #bryozoan (cf. Rhombopora sp.) and a few lithified coal clasts. Found in a creek bed when hiking with the family a few weeks ago here in Vigo Co, IN - USA. Cleaned this up with bleach, H2O rinse, and then 10% HCl. #carboniferous
