  1. In mineralogy a nodule is a small rounded lump of one single mineral or a combination of minerals. These are generally harder than the rock or sediment in which they're found. A concretion is a collection of hardened compacted matter that forms as a result of mineral precipitation in spaces between the particles.

    You shouldn’t confuse a concretion with a nodule. Nodules occur as minerals different from the surrounding layers, while concretions are largely composed of the same sediment as that which formed the sedimentary rock they’re housed in.

    A concretion is a self-contained precipitation of a mineral formed around a nucleus. This makes them distinct from nodules, which are essentially replacements for voids, seams, and cracks in the bedrock filled in with mineral-rich water or gel.

    Concretion - Wikipedia

    Concretions are formed from mineral precipitation around some kind of nucleus while a nodule is a replacement body. Descriptions dating from the 18th century attest to the fact that concretions have long been regarded as geological curiosities. See more

    A concretion is a hard, compact mass formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles, and is found in sedimentary rock or soil. Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape, … See more
