Devonian Age, 350 million years old
Hexagonaria is a genus of colonial rugose corals that lived approximately 350 million years ago during the Devonian period. These fossils are recognized for their hexagonal corallites, each containing a central columella with radiating septae, creating a distinctive honeycomb-like pattern.
Fossils are found in Morocco, including the Sahara Desert and Assa Zag, as well as in Michigan, USA, where Hexagonaria percarinata is popularly known as the Petoskey stone.
When polished, Hexagonaria coral displays beautiful patterns and natural hues, from light creams and browns to darker, earthy tones. These fossils are prized for jewelry, home décor, and collections, and provide a glimpse into ancient Devonian marine ecosystems.
