Baerida Borojevic et al. (Calcarea, Calcaronea) contains three families with a leuconoid aquiferous system without radial symmetry, characterized
by a skeleton either made exclusively of microdiactines or in which microdiactines constitute predominantly a specific sector of
the skeleton. As in Lithonida they are represented by well characterized and very distinctive genera, suggestive of long-term evolution.
