Polished fossil Oncolite. ONC111 #brecciated CH437 Chrysoprase slab polished onONC111. Fossil Oncolite polished slab. From the Miocene "Trealla Limestone" north of Carnarvon, Western Australia . Age is approx. 15 million years. Dimensions at widest points approx. 140 mm x 100 mm x 6. 5 mm thick. Weighs 204 grams.
