 Bryozoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bryozoa are one of the few classical phyla from which no members have been found in the Cambrian.
The phylum Bryozoa has been divided into several phyla that are likely unrelated: the Ectoprocta, the Entoprocta, and the Cycliophora.
During the Mississippian (354 to 323 million years ago) bryozoans were so common that their broken skeletons form entire limestone beds.

All of the animals illustrated are from the northern Adriatic Sea and have been part of my research interests for the past several years.
The reason that they are not more widely known is probably because people other than biologists commonly mistake them for corals, seaweeds, and sponges.
The Phylum Bryozoa is one of the most diverse and common of the invertebrate animal phyla in the sea, and they can be common and conspicuous in fresh water environments, too.

 Fossil Record of the Bryozoa
It is plausible that the Bryozoa existed in the Cambrian but were soft-bodied or not preserved for some other reason; perhaps they evolved from a phoronid -like ancestor at about this time.
The stenolaemate bryozoans quickly radiated in the early Paleozoic and are very characteristic fossils of Paleozoic rocks, sometimes making substantial contributions to the formation of reefs, calcareous shales, and limestones.
The Bryozoa are the only animal phylum with an extensive fossil record that does not appear in Cambrian or late Precambrian rocks.

A more practical solution than aquaculture, Wender said, would be to synthesize bryostatin in the laboratory -- currently a long and expensive process requiring 60 to 70 chemical steps.
But if bryostatin is eventually approved by the Food and Drug Administration, pharmaceutical companies will face another problem: a lack of supply.
Wender told his colleagues that isolating and synthesizing these exotic biochemicals has been a difficult yet exciting challenge.

 The Bryozoans (Phylum Bryozoa)
The original Phylum Bryozoa was split into two when scientists convinced themselves that a small group of about 150 animals that were then considered as part of the phylum Bryozoa deserved to be in a separate phylum of their own.
These animals are now known as the Entoprocta and are distinguished by having their anus inside the space enclosed by their ring of tentacles.
Most species live in relatively shallow coastal waters, though Menipea normani from Iceland lives commonly at depths up to 1,000 metres and other species have been collected from depths as great as 6,000 metres.
