Florida beach find

Recommended Posts

This is a Florida beach find from about 25 years ago. We don't remember the exact location, but somewhere between Ft Meyers and Tampa. It reminds me of sponge but that's just a guess. It could be just an interesting rock, but has those large holes and very small pores. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I think it could be a sponge, too, I have something similar from Tunisia somewhere.

It could be a sponge considering the "tubular" and meandering shape, also the spongy and radiating textures. Maybe it's something similar to the Floridan specimen of this link, or just a worn and bioeroded limestone piece.
