It is with great pleasure we award Dr Paul Taylor The Palaeontographical Society Medal in recognition of his extraordinary long-term and continuing contributions to palaeontology in the British Isles and the wider world particularly on bryozoans and other invertebrates,

I must share this absolutely magnificent paper on the abyssal bryozoans of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (sadly under threat from possible deep-sea mining) by Andrei Grischenko, @DennisG21518341 and Viacheslav Melnik doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.544…

One for the weekend: the spinose cheilostome bryozoan Celleporaria building a tube with a very prickly surface for its hermit crab symbiont. New Zealand.

#FossilFriday The Cincinnatian Series in the US is renowned for its superb bryozoan fauna, exemplified by this trepostome Dekayella from the collections of the NHMUK. Note the borings adding further interest.

#FossilFriday Just a few millimetres in size, the type specimen of Fasciculipora waltoni from the Middle Jurassic of Bath now in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. This beautiful cyclostome bryozoan species was described by Jules Haime as long ago as 1854 but remains poorly known.

The unique pseudocyphonautes of Flustrellidra hispida is approximately 1 mm in width and one of largest bryozoan larva. This peculiar larval type is only present in two relatively unknown ctenostome bryozoan families and a rather rare sighting. @SBRoscoff #Bryozoans #Bryozoology
