Very interesting specimen, how is it preserved? This is a demosponge, correct?
It is silicified. I do not know what type of sponge it is. I am looking for an expert to help.
That’s very cool. I am pretty sure it is a demosponge. I found an occurrence through a paper and the PBDB on demosponges in AZ: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displayCollResults?taxon_no=70272&max_interval=Permian&country=United%20States&state=Arizona&is_real_user=1&basic=yes&type=view&match_subgenera=1 but I think the location is quite different?
I’ll also tag in @mackenzie-smith to see if he has any ideas, he has a really broad knowledge of fossils.
@jbauer Sadly, no ideas this time. I know very, very little on sponges XD
