Order Tethyida Morrow and Cárdenas, 2015 View in CoL Tethyida indet.
Material.—Middle Eocene, upper Eocene, Upper Cretaceous, south-central Ukraine.
Remarks. — The oxyaster shown on the Fig. 5 AF clearly belongs to Thetyida. This spherical spicule with divided ray tips is about 150 μm in diameter and might belong to some species of Timea Gray, 1867 ( Timeidae ; Timea diplasterina Rützler, Piantoni, van Soest, and Díaz, 2014 : fig. 125c). However, it could also belong to Tethya Lamarck, 1815
Tethyidae ; compare Sarà 2002: fig. 9e). Also, various asters (~60–150 μm in diameter) might belong to Tethya ( Figs.
B, 5Y, AE, AG).
