Remarks
From Cleland (1911, p. 62): “Zoarium of thin incrusting layers averaging 1 mm. in thickness and forming by the superposition of successive layers more or less irregular undulating masses sometimes 10 cm. in width and 1.0 cm or more thick … The method of growth and thin walled angular zooecia separated by numerous mesopores will distinguish L. minutissimum from all associated bryozoa.”
