Asset Overview
Yunnan Province, China, ~518 million years old.
Like many modern sponges, *Saetaspongia* had a skeleton made up of numerous small multi-rayed **spicules**. It stayed stationary on the sea floor, feeding on microscopic particles of food filtered from large volumes of water pumped through its body. The **opening** at the top of the sponge allowed water out after being filtered.
