| Summary: | This sandstone and shale rock boulder hails from Sabah, a significant constituent of the West Crocker Formation, dated to the Oligocene through the Early Miocine periods (33.9-15.97 millions years ago). It has medium to fine-grain sandstone interbedded with shale. The rock's colouration is predominantly grey, and it has undergone a degree of metamorphism. One of the intriguing aspects of this rock lies in its interpretation as being deposited within a deep- water environment. |
