Full Round beautifully patterned slab Austin, Oregon polished petrified wood

Description

Conifer (Pinales Order)
Tertiary
Austin, Oregon
Unique locality specimens of conifer!  The general locality is  "Austin, Oregon."  Since we were unable to pinpoint the exact location where this log was excavated, we can't assign more than a general age of Tertiary to it.  But we are confident in the provenance of Austin.  The vicinity of Austin has some very complex Tertiary geology.  There are Eocene outcrops of the Clarno Formation and Miocene outcrops of river deposited volcanic sediments which lasted into the early Pliocene.  Since we have never seen any other wood from Austin and the literature is silent on fossil wood from the area, we can safely assume that it was likely only a single log or two that could be found, and whatever was there was totally harvested.  This material came out of an old collection and we don't expect to see any more of it in the future.  So, we will simply settle for the beauty of the piece, with its color and pattern being particularly stunning.  This specimen is a full round with a swirling two-tone pattern slab that measures 6.5" x 6" on the polished face and it is 7/16" thick.
