concretions

On a recent day trip to the Patea River Dam, I photographed these, um, interesting, formations in the hillsides. My first instinct was to call them 'booby rocks' but I was pretty sure that wasn't  their official name. So, after some research (thanks to Hubby for suggesting search possibilities--he's good like that), I have a name for them:

Concretions !

  We have seen  them off the northern shore of the South Island (Split Apple Rock):

and at 'Three Sisters' earlier in the year.

So now I can call them by their correct name! The things we learn on the internet.
