 | | There were also forms with delicate, branching fanlike skeletons such as the fenestrates pictured below (from the Mississippian of Domodedovo, near Moscow, Russia). |
 | | With the exception of one order of stenolaemates, the Tubuliporata or Cyclostomata, all of these Paleozoic bryozoan lineages were severely impacted in the Permian extinction: cryptostomates disappeared at the end of the Permian (245 million years ago), while a few other lineages lingered until the end of the Triassic, about 210 million years ago. |
 | | Tubuliporate bryozoans have survived to this day, and in fact underwent a remarkable radiation in the Cretaceous, but are no longer dominant today. |
