Petoskey Stone Coral

A Petoskey stone is a fossil colonial coral. These corals lived in warm shallow seas that covered Michigan

during Devonian time, roughly 350 million years ago. This specific fossil coral is found only in the rock strata

known as the Alpena Limestone. The Alpena Limestone is part of the Traverse Group of Devonian age. The

Alpena Limestone is a mixture of limestones and shales.The outcrops of these rocks are restricted to the Little Traverse Bay area near Petoskey. Navtive to the Great Lakes. Petoskey stones may offer protection from negative energy and promote a sense of grounding.
