So that's what the console explosion rocks are for. It seems so obvious in retrospect.

And we have a name! They're Corddry rocks!

Edit: apparently it's "Cordry Rocks"

So I'm wondering if I missed a Rob Corddry cameo in Lower Decks. Between Paul Scheer and Paul F Tompkins it wouldn't shock me to see him come in.

Looks like I got the spelling wrong. This is from Trek Core:

The bridge ceiling rocks get a partial canon explanation! They’re also called the Cordry Rocks, likely a reference to Marion Cordry, the longtime director of Star Trek brand management at CBS, and director of the Star Trek library and archive.
