Description

Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. Petoskey stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern (and some in the northeastern) portion of Michigan’s lower peninsula. In those same areas of Michigan, complete fossilized coral colony heads can be found in the source rocks for the Petoskey stones.

This Petoskey stone comes from a geologist’s collection. It has the original Collection number and a label from the geologist, still on the specimen.
