Devonian Age, 350 million years old

Hexagonaria fossil coral showcases the complex growth patterns of ancient Devonian reef builders. This extinct colonial coral grew as large, interconnected colonies made up of tightly packed skeletal chambers. These chambers, often hexagonal, are arranged in repeating patterns, with each featuring a central structure and radiating septae that reflect the internal anatomy of the coral polyp.

Specimens are commonly recovered from fossil-rich regions in Morocco’s Sahara Desert and from Devonian-age limestone in Michigan. In Michigan, these fossils are known as Petoskey stones and are valued both scientifically and aesthetically. Polished Hexagonaria reveals bold geometric and floral designs, along with natural color variations that range from light cream to deep brown. These fossils offer a rare opportunity to observe coral colony architecture preserved in remarkable detail for hundreds of millions of years.
