Abstract:
Early fossil sponges offer a direct window onto the evolutionary emergence of animals, but insights are limited by the paucity of characters preserved in the conventional fossil record. Here, a new preservational mode for sponge spicules is reported from the lower Cambrian Forteau Formation (Newfoundland, Canada), prompting a re-examination of proposed homologies and sponge inter-relationships. The spicules occur as wholly carbonaceous films, and are interpreted as the remains of robust organic spicule sheaths. Comparable sheaths are restricted among living taxa to calcarean sponges, although

Abstract:
The fossil record of sponges is a very old one, and begins in the Precambrian, but is rather incomplete. Only those sponges with a rigid skeleton, i.e., Hexactinosida and Lychniscosida (both hexactinellids), lithistids (demosponges with desmas), and sponges with a massive calcareous skeleton (polyphyletic demosponges and Calcarea) have a more or less continuous fossil record that is, however, inadequately studied, especially from the Tertiary. The beginning of sponge diversification during the Cambrian is relatively well known thanks to their very good preservation, from the Chengjiang fauna i

Abstract:
A recently described fossil asteroid from mid-Missouri, Emphereaster missouriensis, contained sponge spicules in the stomach area. In addition to spicules within the asteroid, fossil spicules were found at the site in two forms; as discoid structured clusters and as disarticulated concentrations. The spicules were identified as Belemnospongia fascicularis, a small discoid sponge in the Class Demospongea. The site was an exposed road cut next to the Missouri River, approximately 200 m in length. Stratigraphy and paleontology of the site indicate it is in the Warsaw Formation of the Middle Missi

Abstract:
AbstractMolecular phylogeny indicates that metazoans (animals) emerged early in the Neoproterozoic era1, but physical evidence is lacking. The search for animal fossils from the Proterozoic eon is hampered by uncertainty about what physical characteristics to expect. Sponges are the most basic known animal type2,3; it is possible that body fossils of hitherto-undiscovered Proterozoic metazoans might resemble aspect(s) of Phanerozoic fossil sponges. Vermiform microstructure4,5, a complex petrographic feature in Phanerozoic reefal and microbial carbonates, is now known to be the body fossil of n

Abstract:
Historically, six Early Ordovician fossil-bearing facies have been recognized in North America, based on both their lithology and the most abundant types of fossils: the cryptalgal facies, cherty-carbonate - molluscan facies, thrombolite mound facies, sponge-algal mound facies, limestone-brachiopod facies, and graptolitic shale facies. However, complete or representative fossil assemblages characterizing these facies have not yet been defined. Paleogeographic controls on the distribution of these facies are primarily water depth and circulation; much of the North American continent exhibits a

The fossil record of siliceous sponges—Hexactinellida and demosponge “Lithistida”—hinges upon both body fossils plus isolated spicules mostly recovered from limestones by acid digestion. The earliest record of siliceous sponge spicules extends back to the late Neoproterozoic of Hubei, southern China (Steiner et al., 1993) and Mongolia (Brasier et al., 1997), and body fossils attributed to the hexactinellids have been described from the Ediacaran of South Australia (Gehling and Rigby, 1996); thus they are the oldest-known definite representatives of extant animal phyla.

Structures similar to fossilized nonspicular demosponges have been reported in carbonates throughout the Phanerozoic and recently in rocks dating back to 890 Ma ago. Interpretation of these records is increasingly influential to our understanding of metazoans in multiple aspects, including their early evolution, the ecology in fossil reefs, and recovery after mass extinction events. Here, we propose six identification criteria of “Keratosa”-type nonspicular demosponge fossils based on the well-established taphonomical models and their biological characteristics.

These sponges occur in the Yijianfang and Dawangou Formations, which are of nearly the same age, but crop out in different areas of the platform margin.
