Definition
Plural of concretion; hard, rounded masses of mineral matter formed by the cementing together of sediment particles, often found in rocks and soil.
Etymology
From Latin concretio (noun form of concrescere, 'to grow together'). The plural adds -s to the singular form. Concretions are natural geological formations that develop over thousands to millions of years.
Kelly Says
Concretions are nature's marbles—they form in layers of rock and sediment and can become beautiful, almost perfectly spherical stones; some contain fossils, while others like flint were so useful that ancient humans shaped them into tools.
