Coronopora truncata

a colony of clacified bryozoa; it looks a bit like a piece of coral

Coronopora truncata, a species of cyclostomatida with a heavily calcified skeleton. This is the very bryozoan colony that sparked my fascination for cyclostomatids when it came up from a benthic sample during a field course in Agdenes in the summer of 2022. Photos: Maria Buhaug Grankvist
