Abstract

The following most significant features of the colonial organization of the Jurassic and Cretaceous stenolaemate bryozoans are considered: life forms, autozooids, heterozooids, and trophic structuring of colonies. These and other features and their variations and all possible combinations form the basis of the morphological diversity of these bryozoans.
