A revision of sponges from the Faringdon Sponge Gravel Member and Atherfield Clay Formation, Lower Greensand Group of England
Sponges of the Lower Greensand Group (LGS) are well preserved and occur in sediments of a sandy matrix. Abundant in the Faringdon Sponge Gravel Member (FSG), these sponges, mostly Calcareans, are found in Oxfordshire, with notable preservation at Little Coxwell quarries. This study provides descriptions of common species following the updated Porifera classification and recent sponge taxonomy research, illustrated with specimens from the Natural History Museum, London (NHM), British Geological Survey (BGS), and Natural History Museum Basel (NMB) collections. The following taxa are recorded and described: 1) Calcareans: Barroisia anastomosans (Parkinson, 1822), Barroisia clavata (Keeping, 1883), Barroisia irregularis (Hinde, 1884), Dehukia crassa (de Fromentel, 1861), [Elasmoierea] faringdonensis (Mantell, 1854), [Elasmoierea] mantelli (Hinde, 1884), Peronidella gillieroni (de Loriol, 1869), Peronidella prolifera (Hinde, 1884), Peronidella ramosa (Roemer, 1839), Oculospongia dilatate (Roemer, 1864), Tremospongia pulvinaria (Goldfuss, 1826), Raphidonema contortum (Hinde, 1884), Raphidonema porcatum (Sharpe, 1854), Raphidonema farringdonensis (Sharpe, 1854), Raphidonema macropora (Sharpe, 1854), Raphidonema pustulatum (Hinde, 1884), Endostoma foraminosa (Goldfuss, 1826); and 2) Hexactinellids: Lonsda contortuplicata (Lonsdale, 1849). Key findings include the identification of Tethyan biogeographic affinities and ecological adaptations that highlight the role of these sponges in early reef-like systems. By refining species descriptions and linking them to broader Cretaceous ecosystems, this work enhances understanding of sponge biodiversity, evolutionary strategies, and their contributions to carbonate platform development during periods of environmental change.
期刊介绍:
The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
