Mookaite from the Cretaceous of Western Australia.
Mookaite is a silicified sedimentary rock from the Lower Cretaceous Windalia Radiolarite Formation, a succession of moderately deep marine siltstones and cherts that contain numerous microfossils of foraminifera, radiolarians, and coccoliths. Because this rock is hard, very fine-grained, and attractively colored, mookaite is valued as knapping material by flintknappers.
