Buzz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I thought at first that this is a sponge fossil, but is it actual a coral fossil? Size is about 4" x 4" x 4" Link to post Share on other sites

patelinho7 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'm thinking it's some sort of volcanic rock and not a fossil. I might be wrong though, more photos + location of where it was found would be useful. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sorry. It's not coral, and I'm pretty sure it's not a sponge either. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 It was found plainly visible on the ground in a back yard in Eagle, Wisconsin. It looks similar on all sides, it's roundish, and it has a diameter of about 4". Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 I followed up on the notion that this could be some sort of volcanic rock. After viewing very many images of, and reading about, large pumice rock, I have little doubt that this is one that was probably used for landscaping, which could very well explain why it was plainly visible on the ground. So, nope, neither a sponge nor a coral fossil, just a large run-of-the-mill pumice rock. Still looks pretty cool, though—and I'll be incorporating it into a bit of illuminated landscaping art! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
