BRYOZOANS OF THE GENERA STOMATOPORA BRONN AND STOPORATOMA GEN. NOV. (STENOLAEMATA) FROM THE MIDDLE JURASSIC OF MOSCOW CITY AND THE MOSCOW REGION

Abstract

Encrusting uniserial bryozoans are recorded from the Middle Callovian of Moscow city and the Moscow Region: Stoporatoma gerasimovi gen. et sp. nov. and three species of the genera Stomatopora Bronn; i.e., S. dichotoma (Lamouroux), S. waltoni Haime, and S. bajocensis (Orbigny). Some morphological characters and environmental conditions of these bryozoans are discussed. A new bryozoan that is characterized by a large size and distinctive circular reptozooecia is described.
