Years ago I could go to the Petoskey State Park and find as many petoskey stones as I wanted. One walk on the beach with Erik and Jim we pocketed 52 stones until we just couldn't carry any more. Sand and stones shift over the years and lately Hexagonaria Percarinata has been frustratingly elusive. Until today!
I found a spot abundant with sand polished fossils and on closer inspection recognized the familiar hexagonal shape of the coral. Digging down in the wet sand a little bit I uncovered several fist sized rocks with beautiful examples of coral. I brought a few home and threw several more out beyond the sand bar for later discovery by another person another day.
