New Findings Show Ancient Intermountain West was Once Covered in Sea Sponges While they didn’t live in a pineapple under the Phosphoria Sea, it turns out a good chunk of the prehistoric Intermountain West was once blanketed in sea sponges.

An artist’s rendering by A.M. Rasmussen of what a sponge meadow in the Phosphoria Sea may have looked like more than 250 million years ago.

β€œIt was like this part of the world was taken over by sponges,” said Leif Tapanila, director of the IMNH and professor of geosciences at ISU. β€œIf you were snorkeling, all you’d see would be a meadow of billions of tube-shaped sponges that went off into the distance.”
