Descriptive info Lower Silurian; Vasalemma near Hargla, Estonia. (Index Nominum Genericorum) [details]
Taxonomic remark Originally described as a sponge; then assigned to the algae; Riding (2004) again considers it to be a sponge. The generic name is retained in botanical nomenclature for purposes of homonymy. (Index Nominum Genericorum). Alternatively classified as a bryozoan. West, 2011 includes Solenopora as a fossil chaetetid (Demosponge; Chaetidae is no longer a formally defined group) with a known skeleton type but unknown spicules, therefore not assignable to family.
