Favosites sp.
The tell
Same idea as a petoskey but the cells are far smaller and packed tighter, with no radiating lines you can pick out by eye.
Different coral entirely: Favosites rather than Hexagonaria. It is not a "baby petoskey", it is a different animal.
What it gets mistaken for
- petoskey stone
- chain coral
- bryozoan
- honeycomb coral

Put it on the shelf
Every stone on this chart is drawn and kiss-cut at three inches. The rarer the stone, the fewer exist: only 500 charlevoix will ever be printed, then the run is retired.
