Cystoporida in the World Register of Marine Species
Cystoporata, also known as Cystoporida or cystoporates, are an extinct order of Paleozoic bryozoans in the class Stenolaemata.[1] Their fossils are found from Ordovician to Triassic strata.[2]
All cystoporatan bryozoan genera (around 50 or so) have a "cystopore," a chamber-like supporting structure, separated from each other by transverse septa, situated between the characteristically elongated zooecias of each individual colony.[3][4]
