Pile # 4 didn't have much time to go through it! They spread it out and flattened it . :shakehead: lots of arch shells.

They appear to be partially silified. 
 

Botryoidal Chalcedony is the term. Basically, they’re growing crystals. 😊

 

Here are some examples. These are just fragments of pieces like yours. Other members have way nicer examples than theses. @Shellseeker has a shell that’s completely filled in.

Botryoidal Chalcedony

A couple of examples that I really like. Botryoidal means "shaped like a bunch of grapes" Druzy is the white spots on top of the grapes.  Silicified broken seashells in the Peace River provide the "caves" where Botryoidal Druzy can grow... To me, these are a fantastic present from the River.
