An amazing discovery here in the Burren

A 315-million-year-old fossil sponge has been discovered near the Cliffs of Moher in Co Clare by the The Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark Geologist Dr Eamon Doyle!

Sponges are living creatures that are found in the sea. With a very basic body, they do not have a nervous system or circulatory system.

The new species of fossil sponge 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.
