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.
Tabulate and tetra- corals appear. [5] Accumulations of these corals up to seventy feet thick are known from places like Engadine, Gould City, and Trout Lake. [5] During the following period, the sea still covered Michigan. [2] Crinoids were very abundant in Michigan during the Devonian. [5]

Further analysis estimated that the 10-foot-fall young Rex likely weighed in at a whopping 3,500 pounds and was about two-thirds the size of an adult at 25 feet from tail to nose. It was believed ...

A survey of Lake Michigan located at least 40 large craters on the lakebed. Initial studies highlighted the spots as unknown shapes, but additional research revealed the craters are filled with ...
Based on the size of the tibia, experts estimate the dinosaur was 13 to 15 years old when it died and likely weighed around 3,500 pounds — about two-thirds of the size of a fully-grown adult T rex.
