Item description from seller

Paleontological aspects of Cliona celata from the Dutch Delta Region were investigated. This tunneling sponge occurs abundantly in limestone boulders and in shells of Ostrea edulis, Crassostrea gigas and Crepidula fornicata. Ostial and oscular papillae protrude from the substratum surface through perforations. All found spicules are tylostyles. The length of the tylostyles prepared from ostial papillae is positively correlated with the diameter of the perforations which contain these papillae. The tylostyle diameter is not correlated with the perforation size. Reproduction apparently is mainly asexual. Excavation patterns in the substrata are described. Mathematical models of perforation-rates and -patterns are applied to describe the relative age of sponge parts in oyster-shells. Interactions of sponge tunneling with borings of 2 polychaete worms, Polydora ciliata and P. hoplura, are studied. In the Dutch Delta Region only the .alpha- and beta-stage of Cliona celata are found. The .gamma.-stage was collected near Roscoff, France, to measure tylostyle length and papillae distribution. 31 pp., 5 pls, 6 figs, 4 tabs, gr. 8.
