Note on the last two sizes: because of the shape of the specimen, it is a little difficult to give an exact size. The second size measures the furtherst from either side, the specimen ranges from less than a cm up to 3.8 cm in width in places. The third measurement is where it is the thickest; however, most of the specimen averages 0.5 cm in thickness.
