Utica Shale sponge
This is probably one of my favorite sponges from the Utica shale. It has awesome spicule preservation, is almost 2 inches wide, and stands out from the rock much better than most of my other non-pyritized sponges do. Someone once told me this was a rare Utica Shale phyllocarid, but phyllocarids don’t have spicules lol.
