Abstract

Three species of incrusting bryozoans (Tubuliporida, Stenolaemata) from the Upper Callovian (Middle Jurassic) in the vicinity of the town of Kolomna, Moscow region, are described: Stomatopora dichotoma (Lamouroux, 1821), which was first discovered in the late Callovian of the Moscow region; Reptomultisparsa stratosa sp. nov.; and ?Microeciella sp. Some features of the interaction between S. dichotoma and ?Microeciella sp. the colonies of which developed side by side on the same substrate are discussed.
