BLT Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hello! I am hoping someone can tell me exactly what this is? It was found in a creek in middle Tennessee. I am assuming it is a concretion of some sort, but the inside looks different from others I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 It looks like half of a nodule (maybe flint nodule), to me.

ynot Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Technically chert and flint nodules can be concretions, dependant on how they formed. Just thought I would add a little confusion to the equation.

abyssunder Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Can I use the term Silex?
