Crepipora is an extinct genus of marine bryozoans belonging to the Ceramoporidae family. There are currently 18 collections from Belarus, Sweden, Canada, France and the United States (Missouri, Alabama, Ohio and Tennessee). It was first assigned to Cystoporata by Sepkoski in 2002. [4] The fossil range is from the Middle Ordovician to the Upper Ordovician.[5]
