... that fossils of the bryozoan Cauloramphus disjunctus dating back a million years have been found with their spines intact?

The article is long enough and new enough, with adequate referencing. I found no copyvios from the online sources. However, I didn't find the hook fact about intact spines in the article, unless that is implicit in the statement that the million year old fossils are similar to the species today, but I didn't find that even implicit in the Taylor source.

You will find mention of the spines being intact in the "Distribution and habitat" green link of the Natural History Museum reference - not the most obvious place to look for it I agree! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I found it and added a direct link to that page as the citation. I also made the hook fact more explicit in the article. So this should be fine now. Rlendog (talk) 16:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
