Definition of concretion in English:

concretion

noun kənˈkriːʃ(ə)n

1A hard solid mass formed by the local accumulation of matter, especially within the body or within a mass of sediment.

Example sentencesExamples

- Asbestos bodies are asbestos fibers that have been coated with an iron-rich, proteinaceous concretion.
- To make matters worse, the concretions can be associated with cycads.
- Large chert concretions appear 8 m above the base of the unit at Muller Canyon whereas at Reno Draw they do not appear until 18 m above the base.
- Coal balls are concretions of permineralized peat formed in place.
- Recently, one of us saw a bin of silicified barite concretion fragments in a Utah rock shop that were being sold as cycad specimens.
- The bodies of many smaller concretions are surrounded by a shell of fine-grained pyrite.
- These are found rarely in large septarian concretions in the Huron Shale in north-central Ohio near Milan, in Huron County.
- Eventually, the sandstone slowly eroded away and the hard, erosion-resistant concretions were left on the ground.
- Most specimens are contained in concretions and are preserved only because the concretions formed around them.
- The biomineralized shells of trilobites, gastropods and brachiopods are preserved within the concretions.
- At certain levels, carbonate-rich beds are present, inside which decimetre-scale hard calcareous concretions develop.
- They sometimes are found together with dolostone concretions, barite nodules, or phosphatic nodules.
- The authors show that early concretion growth prevented collapse and infilling of voids in the organisms, in the time-interval between organic decay and precipitation of calcite.
- Coal balls are a particular type of carbonate concretion that has been long known for the superb preservation of plant material.
- The barite and calcite form excellent euhedral crystals in concretions within the Cretaceous-age Mancos Shale.
- Preservation of non-biomineralized tissues within concretions occurs through most of the Phanerozoic, from the Upper Cambrian to the Recent.

- The swirls, which are more siliceous than the surrounding sandstone, weather in relief to produce elliptical to irregular concretionary patterns on the sandstone surface.
