Les bryozoaires sont des organismes coloniaux de petite taille. La plupart fabriquent des colonies encroutantes ou en forme de voiles mais les colonies d’un genre fossile très particulier, Archimedes, sont en forme de vis, permettant de déployer un voile hélicoïdal pour une filtration optimale !

Ce spécimen a été scanné à la lumière blanche structurée provient collections de paléontologie de l’Université de Liège http://eddylab.uliege.be.

Bryozoans are small colonial organisms. Most make encrusting or sail-like colonies, but the colonies of a very particular fossil genus, Archimedes, are screw-shaped, allowing the members of the colony to deploy an helicoidal veil to filter optimally!

This specimen was scanned with structured white light and comes from the paleontology collections of the University of Liège http://eddylab.uliege.be
