vegasjames - I'm going to have to google that! Thanks Mr. vegasjames ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Here is a link on concretions.
Nodules and geodes are pretty similar, but differentiated in that nodules are solid inside as where geodes have hollow spaces inside. For instance, when we buy "geodes" and cut them open, the ones that are solid inside are actually nodules, and not really geodes.

That is a Thunderegg. Which is volcanic gas bubble filling not a fossil. It is a type of Geode.
