Eridotrypa Explained

Eridotrypa is an extinct genus of bryozoans of the family Aisenvergiidae, consistently forming colonies made of thin branches (only about 1 to 2.25 millimeters wide). [1] [2] Diaphragms are very common in colonies. Distinctively, in the exozone there are serrated dark borders separating the autozooecia.[3]
