Spicule \Spic"ule\, n. [L. spiculum a little point, a dart.]
   1. A minute, slender granule, or point.

   2. (Bot.) Same as {Spicula}.

   3. (Zo["o]l.) Any small calcareous or siliceous body found in
      the tissues of various invertebrate animals, especially in
      sponges and in most Alcyonaria.

   Note: Spicules vary exceedingly in size and shape, and some
         of those found in siliceous sponges are very complex in
         structure and elegant in form. They are of great use in
         classification.

               a Acerate; b Tricurvate, or Bowshaped; c d
