A genus of fossil bryozoans (microscopic ocean animals that form colonies) from ancient seas.
From 'azo-' (Greek azein, to boil or life) + '-ola' (Latin diminutive suffix). Named by paleontologists to classify a group of extinct marine organisms discovered in fossil records.
Aziola fossils tell us about ocean life from hundreds of millions of years ago—these tiny creatures built reef-like structures that scientists use to date rock layers and understand Earth's history.
