The PDF supplied here is a proof - NOT the definitive printed text - of a chapter of the Systema Porifera
Recent Lithonida (Calcarea, Calcaronea) contains two families of Calcaronea characterized by a hypercalcified skeleton, which is reinforced either by the linkage of tetractines or by the formation of a rigid basal mass of calcite. The living tissue has free calcareous spicules, most frequently including tuning-fork triactines, or diapasons. They appear as survivors of fossil ‘pharetronids’, a polyphyletic grouping of fossil calcareous sponges, and are presently restricted to submarine caves and to bathyal rocky environments. The fossil genera are not treated here.
