Studying the chemical composition in a transect from the outer layers of a concretion towards the surrounding rocks, the researchers were able to crack some of the open questions. The chemical ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative method based on fossilization processes to seal cracks and fractures in rock using a “concretion-forming resin”. The results were published in ...

In a new study, a team of researchers used research on fossilizing techniques to create a new method for sealing cracks and fractures in rocks and bedrock using a 'concretion-forming resin'.

It was not a fossil at all, my professor told me. The "dinosaur bone" was really a concretion, or a small lump of mineral that had formed around some bit of detritus. A broken part of the object ...

What made Willo special was its heart. Preserved inside a concretion cradled within the dinosaur's ribcage were the remains of its major cardiac muscle. But not everyone has been in agreement that ...

"The tendency is to think of this as Pompeii on the ocean floor," Briggs said. Typically, each concretion holds a single fossil, which is usually too small to be chipped out of the rock.

Results announced Thursday of DNA testing of a bone found in a concretion from the wreckage revealed it does not belong to the legendary pirate as some had said it might. Instead, it is that of a ...

5. They are a type of concretion, a mass of mineral that grows in fine sedimentary clay banks that once were part of ancient lakes fed by glaciers, he said. Hiding in plain sight, a “clay baby ...
