Permian bryozoans from the exotic formations in Oman

Abstract

Thirty bryozoan species in nineteen genera are described from the exotic formations in Oman. The bryozoans include one new species, Rugofenestella omanica, eighteen previously described species and eleven indeterminable species. These bryozoan faunas indicate an early Murgabian to early Midian age (Permian). They show relationships to bryozoan faunas of the northern, central, and southern Tethyan realm.
