A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata. [1] Such stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern (and some in the northeastern) portion of Michigan's lower peninsula.

Petoskey is a popular Midwestern resort town. [7] Petoskey lends its name to the Petoskey stone, a fossilized coral that is the state stone of Michigan. [8]
Fossils of this genus form Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan. [1] They can be seen and found in most Midwestern U.S. states. Hexagonaria is a common constituent of the coral reefs exposed in Devonian Fossil Gorge below the Coralville Lake spillway [2] and in many exposures of the Coralville Formation in the vicinity of Coralville ...
Though not really a castle and not really made of coral, world-famous structure built by one man is considered an engineering marvel
The Petoskey Formation is an arenaceous limestone named for its locale (Petoskey, Michigan), and contains the eponymous Petoskey stones. The Whiskey Creek Formation is a limestone. The Traverse Group formed as a shallow carbonate shelf during the Devonian period (~419 to 359 Ma), when the most recent supercontinent , Pangea , was just beginning ...
