rhamphotheca: Calcareous Sponges - Plate 5 from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur “Calcispongiae”, now called Calcarea, is a class of about 400 marine sponges that are found mostly in shallow tropical waters worldwide. Calcareous sponges vary from radially symmetrical vase-shaped body types to colonies made up of a meshwork of thin tubes, or irregular massive forms. The skeleton has either a mesh or honeycomb structure. SO F’ING COOL!!!!….SCIENTIFICILLUSTRATION is one of my “favorite” Tumblrs, you SHOULD “Follow” them if you don’t already!!!!….I mean, really….Where else can you learn all about “Sponges” and constantly get amazing drawings at the same time?!?!….Nowhere….that’s where…. :)
