Marbled, there's quite a lot of material where I got this piece. The kicker is they're over 2.5m long behind a 2m tall fence around a construction site to lift up and over. The weight of oak is like hardwood railway sleepers. The piece cleaned up ready to be split into domino sized pieces. Wetting an off cut to show the grain it's about 25 years old counting the growth rings.
If looking for the right oak it's a good time of year as their summer foliage and acorns on them are distinctive.
