Identity HelpCentral Oregon Limbcast

I got this limbcast locally at an estate sale. It was in the bottom of a box of unwashed pet wood. Took it home and polished it up. It definately looks to be a crooked river cast. The bottom has moss inclusions and the outter edge is a grayish agate/chalcedony. When I hold it up to sunlight, I can see some thick banding around the core. The mineral in the core is cracked and somewhat eroded at the edges. The back of the cast is solid agate/chalcedony with the core mineral just below. I have seen many local limbcast with quartz like centers, but the crystals are in whole form. This looks like layered sheets. It's about 5 inches tall, 6 inches long, weigh 6 lbs (if i remember correctly). Thanks for any advice!
