   Archimedes
   Archimedes was a corkscrew-shaped colonial genus of bryozoan named for the ancient Greek Archimedes, who invented the water screw (the bryozoan looks like the water screw). The marine bryozoan Archimedes were tubular-shaped zooids with calcified walls. They lived in colonies during the Carboniferous, roughly 360 to 280 million years ago. Classification: Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Bryozoa, Class Stenolaemata, Order Fenestrida, Family Fenestellidae, Genus Archimedes, many species.
