The dramatically increased wireless communication needs make non-renewable spectrum resources extremely scarce and costly. Consortium blockchain realizes trusted spectrum sharing among untrusted spectrum owners. Yet, most existing studies ignore spectrum sharing among blockchains, which greatly reduce spectrum utilization. In the paper, we focus on cross-chain spectrum sharing. We propose a Fine-grained Cross-chain Spectrum Sharing mechanism based on Oracle (FCSSO) to realize trusted and efficient cross-chain spectrum transactions. To guarantee benefits of spectrum owners, we design a fine-grained time partition method to decide spectrum renting time in transactions. The method reduces the waste of owners' available spectrum time caused by spectrum handoff. Extensive simulation proves the positive impact of the proposed fine-grained time partition method, and FCSSO outperforms two representative cross-chain mechanisms from two aspects: spectrum owners' benefits and spectrum utilization.
