Minchinellidae is a family of calcareous sponges, members of the class Calcarea.^[1] It is the only family in the monotypic order Lithonida. The families Petrobionidae (genus Petrobiona)^[2] and Lepidoleuconidae (genus Lepidoleucon)^[3] have also sometimes been placed within Lithonida, though more recently they have been moved to the order Baerida.^[4] Thanks to their hypercalcified structure, minchinellids have a fossil record reaching as far back as the Jurassic Period.^[3]^[4]

Description

Minchinellids are hypercalcified sponges in the subclass Calcaronea. They have a robust skeleton of tetractine (four-rayed) calcareous spicules. The tetractine spicules are propeller-shaped, with three curved actines (rays) radiating perpendicular to a straight basal actine. These spicules may be linked by their basal actines or cemented together by calcite. The skeleton is reinforced with layers of loose diapason (tuning fork-shaped) spicules. Minchinellid sponges have a leuconoid canal system.^[3]^[4]
