Abstract:The stromatoporoid,a term proposed by the German geologist Goldfuss in 1826,was named for its laminar structure. As a type of sponge,the stromatoporoid is a marine organism leading a colonial life. Stromatoporoids have various shapes and the size of them ranges from a few centimetres to several metres. Living in a shallow sea with warm,clear,normal salinity and good light conditions,they are often associated with corals and algae to form reefs and are one of the most important reef-building organisms. The evolution of stromatoporoids is a mystery because they originated in the Early Ordovician,prospered in the Devonian,and disappeared into the Carboniferous,but reappeared in the Late Triassic,and further developed in the Late Jurassic,eventually became completely extinct in the end of the Early Cretaceous. The research history of stromatoporoids has gone through three stages: The sporadic research stage(1826-1950),the systematic research stage(1951-1971),and the integrated innovation stage(since 1972). This paper mainly introduces the morphology and structure,systematic classification,origin and evolution,the symbiotic relationship between organisms and the application of stromatoporoids in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Three main problems in the current research of stromatoporoids were proposed: (1)the lack of clear,complete and unified taxonomical schemes;(2)the origin and the“blank”phenomenon of evolution;(3)tangible relationships with symbiotic organisms. Based on those,prospects of stromatoporoids’ research have been described. Stomatoporoids are an indispensable part of palaeontology research,and the various morphological and habit characteristics of them are of great significance in the process of restoring palaeogeography and reconstructing the palaeoenvironment.
