Stigmatella crenulata
- this is an acetate peel of a tangential cut
(cross section) through the bryozoan. This cut displays the individual
zooecium (round openings that are filled with a calcite cement).
The only way a bryozoan can be identified down to the species
level is by analyzing the zooecium under a microscope, as pictured
above. The photo above is magnified 50X.
