315 million-year-old fossil sponge discovered near Cliffs of Moher

The new species of fossil sponge was found by Dr Eamon Doyle, a geologist for the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, and it dates back to when Co Clare was located close to the Equator.

“This is an exceptionally large example of a type of fossil sponge that was previously only known from much older rocks elsewhere in the world,” Dr Doyle said.

“It is the first record of this type of fossil sponge from Ireland and its excellent preservation is highly unusual,” he added.

The sponge, named Cyathophycus balor is the largest example of its kind anywhere in the world and is up to 50cm tall.

Will The Cliffs Of Moher Still Exist In 2030?

Picture this: the majestic Cliffs of Moher standing tall, their rugged beauty overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a sight that has captivated visitors for centuries but the question that looms over this iconic landmark is whether it will still exist in its current form come 2030.
