Isolated microscopic spicules from disarticulated scleritomes demonstrate the presence of a diverse sponge fauna otherwise not evident from the macrofossil record in carbonate successions deposited during the un-named Cambrian Series 2 and Cambrian Series 3 (Miaolingian) in North Greenland. Most of the spicule morphotypes are not recognised from faunas of articulated sponges known from contemporaneous siliciclastic strata elsewhere. Assemblages are described in terms of four Cambrian stages and contain numerous spicule morphotypes not previously recorded from Laurentia. Many of the spicules can be correlated worldwide, however, extending current knowledge of the biogeographic distribution of sponge spicule-based taxa in the Cambrian. In particular, similar Cambrian Stage 4 (Series 2) and Miaolingian assemblages (Wuliuan, Drumian and Guzhangian stages) faunas are recorded from tropical palaeolatitudes in Australia, South China, Siberia and Laurentia, although this may in part reflect a methodology focused on the preparation of the carbonate samples that dominate these successions. New spicule-based taxa: Eiffelia floriformis n. sp., Australispongia? inuak n. sp., Celtispongia dorte n. gen. n. sp., Sanningasoqia borealis n. gen. n. sp., Speciosuspongia inughuitorum n. sp., Sulukispicula gelidae n. gen. n. sp.
