How to use "Concretion" in context?
Concretion is the result of a hard object, such as a mineral, becoming compacted or larger over time. A mineral may form when smaller pieces are brought together by physical or chemical forces. The object can become a concretion when the pieces join together to form a solid. Concretions can be formed in many different ways, such as when water seeps through an underground rock and cools, forming crystals. Bones and seashells are also common concretions.
