Welcome back to #FossilFriday!
Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp.

Pepper has zero shame in being his own biggest fan 😂💚
He started his day with a cute little face-wash… then suddenly spotted his reflection and instantly went into full mating display mode 🥹 #jumpingspider

When the weather gets wintery there are 2 types of people: grumbles, and those of us who enjoy the stark beauty. May you find beauty every day.
