The following tables provide a systematic species inventory of sponges reported from the Campanian marl beds of Höver and Misburg. A number of species are reported here from Misburg and Höver for the first time, and there are a few completely new species which await formal description. Some previously reported species could not be confirmed yet by the author.
For all the presented specimens, macroscopic features as well as microscopic evidence from the skeletal structure has been considered, and in some cases it has also been possible to directly study type material for comparison. However, in many cases the identification has to rely on the sometimes insufficient descriptions published in the literature.
