This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Members of Aulacospongia as represented in the TreeOfLife-200M image dataset are shown as fossil sponge specimens in museum/invertebrate-zoology collections (GBIF/Naturalis media).
The referenced Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Part E: Archaeocyatha and Porifera) provides a general framework for how fossil invertebrate taxa are organized and how names are handled under mid-century nomenclatural decisions, but the provided literature summary does not include extractable Aulacospongia-specific diagnostic or rank-placement statements beyond describing the volume’s scope and methodology.[2]
