Phenomenon of enantiomorphism in marine bryozoans

Paleontological Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

There are only extremely scarce data on enantiomorphism in marine bryozoans. The publications and available material on fossil and modern bryozoans are analyzed in order to distinguish distinct types of enantiomorphic zooids and enantiomorphic colonies both in ancient and recent representatives of the classes Stenolaemata and Eurystomata.
