Bryozoa (Ectoprocta)- Invertebrate Paleontology | GEO GIRL

Описание: Bryozoa or Ectoprocta is a phylum of invertebrate animals that includes a diverse group of the closet looking little animals ever! In this video, I go over Bryozoan ecology, anatomy, reproduction, structure, morphology, classification (class Stenolaemata- orders trepostomes, cryptostomes, fenestrates, cyclostomes, cystoporates, and class Gymnolaemata- orders ctenostomes and cheilostomes), how to distinguish bryozoan fossils by these classes and orders, and bryozoan evolution.
