Dublin Core
Alternative Title
Calcium Carbonate concretions
Description
(DSM #SD11 and #SD12) Concretions come in all sizes and are very often mistaken for fossils because of their intricate and strange shapes. They form when a grain of sediment or organism acts as a nucleus for minerals to precipitate and grow. Some concretions contain fossils but many do not.
