    • The mudstones are dark and contain calcareous concretions, the latter brecciated and with calcareous veins.
    • 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 concretions of permineralized peat formed in place.
    • They sometimes are found together with dolostone concretions, barite nodules, or phosphatic nodules.
    • The biomineralized shells of trilobites, gastropods and brachiopods are preserved within the concretions.
    • The bodies of many smaller concretions are surrounded by a shell of fine-grained pyrite.
    • Recently, one of us saw a bin of silicified barite concretion fragments in a Utah rock shop that were being sold as cycad specimens.
    • 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.
