synonyms: sclerenchyma
glosses: The hard integument of crustaceans.
examples: text: The most recent study has been made by Hayasi (78), who finds that the calcareous lamellae which form the sclerodermites are formed by secretions of the calicoblasts and that the latter are not themselves calcified.
ref: 1943, Thomas Wayland Vaughan, John West Wells, Revision of the Suborders Families, and Genera of the Scleractinia, page 32:
text: The same is true of the sclerodermites of Holothuroidea but it is not true of other echinoderm microfossils, such as echinoid pedicellariæ and microcrinoids.
ref: 1963, University of Glasgow. Geological Department, Papers - Volume 25 -, page 153:

text: The aspicular, aragonitic skeleton of a living sphictozoid (Neocoelia) lacks the sclerodermite microstructure in other aragonitic skeletons indicating a significant difference in the pattern of crystallization. The absence of entrapped siliceous spicules in this sponge does not appear to be the cause for the lack of sclerodermites since in Merlia sclerodermites are present but entrapped spicules are not ( Hartman and Goreau, 1970).
