Neoeridotrypella Explained

Neoeridotrypella is an extinct genus of bryozoan of the family Eridotrypellidae, known from the Permian period. Its colonies were typically branching or tree-shaped though sometimes encrusting or massive, and the walls of its zooecial chambers were thicker within the exozone and full of tiny tubules.^[1]

Species

• Neoeridotrypella pulchra (Morozova, 1970) was the first Neoeridotrypella species described.
• Neoeridotrypella schilti (1997)^[1]
• Neoeridotrypella missionensis (2000) formed only encrusting colonies, which sometimes encrusted upon other bryozoans.^[2]
