Palaeostomata

Palaeostomata is a superorder of extinct stenolaemate bryozoans, including all extinct orders within Stenolaemata and excluding the order Cyclostomata, which is the only extant stenolaemate order. Palaeostomates are sometimes called "stony bryozoans" because they are heavily calcified, making them ideal candidates for fossilization. They are distinct from cyclostomes because they lack calcified exterior walls above the basal lamina and because their zooecial tubes are transected by calcitic partitions, such as diaphragms.

No picture of Palaeostomata was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Palaeostomata, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At least 449 million years on record.

The record covers at least 515.3 Mya to 66 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 520 Mya to 61.66 Mya.

6,860 occurrences of Palaeostomata on record, most of them in the Permian. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

6,860 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The Paleobiology Database records at least 834 sites for Palaeostomata, and this reads 240 of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.

This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.

Each of the 6,860 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. 698 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
