Demosponge Geodia: Abstract from Academic OneFile:
Tiny acid-resistant siliceous spheres discovered in the Paleocene Porters Creek Formation were analyzed and identified to be the microspicules of the demosponge Geodia. The microspicules were previously mistaken for the ultimate chambers of Subbotina trinidadensis. The discovery is significant because it is the first report of the occurrence of Geodia in the Mesozoic/Cenozoic strata in the Gulf or Atlantic Coastal Plain regions.
