Representatives of the Genus Camerospongia (Porifera, Hexactinellida) from the Cenomanian in the Volga Region

Abstract

The earliest assemblage of Cretaceous sponges has been found in the Cenomanian terrigenous rocks (the Melovatka suite) from the south of the Volga right bank region. A noticeable element of the assemblage is composed of small-sized Camerospongia, newly recognized in the region and peculiar for forming monotype colonies as well.
