Hello!  My brother found these on the Trinity River near the Lake Livingston dam.  They seem to be more like iron or hematite concretions, but we aren't sure.  They aren't magnetic, but he said they aren't very heavy either.  We haven't done the streak test yet.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

Judging from the color, they look more like to be composed of limonite.

Anyways, interesting specimens. Could have been siderite-cemented sand and mud that got weathered to limonite. But I am not completely sure of this.
