Modern and reworked Pleistocene and Tertiary bryozoan calcareous sand extends over the 20–150 miles wide and 2,500 miles long continental shelf of southern Australia from north of Perth on the west coast, eastwards to east Bass Strait. Bottom photography and dredge samples reveal that living Bryozoa thrive most abundantly at depths of 50–120 fathoms and that catenicelliform Zoaria occur in fine grained sand in quiet water whereas lunulitiform Zoaria live in loose, moving, rippled sands; reteporiform Zoaria are common in water with mild current action. Adeoniform and vinculariiform Zoaria commonly occur at depths greater than 100 fathoms.
