Original Description

Astrosphaerida with hollow, spongy sphere, without latticed medullary shell in the central cavity, and with numerous branched radial spines.

The genus Spongothamnus differs from the preceding Spongechinus in the ramification of the numerous radial spines, covering the surface of the hollow spongy sphere; it therefore exhibits the same relation to the latter that Spongodrymus bears to Spongiomma.

Etymology:
Greek spongothamnus = spongy shrub"
