Diagnosis
Pseudoceratinidae with sparse fibre skeleton organised on a dendritic plan. Pith elements only are present in the fibres. The matrix of the sponge is extremely dense and heavily reinforced by collagen; the texture is hence firm, and often extremely hard and incompressible. The surface of the sponge is smooth, conulose or tuberculate.
