Darwinellidae Merejkowsky 1879

Description

Family Darwinellidae Merejkowsky, 1879

Genus Chelonaplysilla De Laubenfels, 1948

Diagnosis. Darwinellidae which have a structured and separable cortex reinforced by a delicate reticulum of sand grains, supported by collagen tracts. Fibre structure is like that of Aplysilla, but in species that become erect, lamellate and branching, the support skeleton becomes branched (from Bergquist & Cook 2002b).
