Cystoporata

Cystoporata
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Bryozoa
Class:	Stenolaemata
Order:	†Cystoporata

Cystoporata, also known as Cystoporida or cystoporates, are an extinct order of Paleozoic bryozoans in the class Stenolaemata.^[1] Their fossils are found from Ordovician to Triassic strata.^[2]

All cystoporatan bryozoan genera (around 50 or so) have a "cystopore," a chamber-like supporting structure, separated from each other by transverse septa, situated between the characteristically elongated zooecias of each individual colony.^[3]^[4]
