Celleporidae is a family of bryozoans – colonial, aquatic, invertebrates – in the order Cheilostomatida. Structurally, they are defined by densely packed zooids (individual animals which make up the colony). The zooids usually have irregular direction, and are defined by morphological characteristics.[1] Masses of the dead animals can form shallow sediments.[2] Members of the family are recorded from every ocean, even around Antarctica, where they are represented primarily by the genus Osthimosia.[1][3] Fossils of the family exist as old as from 235 million years ago, during the Triassic period.[4]
