The word "concretion" is correct and usable in written English.
It is usually used to refer to a hard mass, typically one which is formed from various materials, such as a rock or pebble. For example, "The researchers found evidence of an ancient volcanic eruption in the concretion of minerals and rock."
and thus faced the problem of concretion: how can concrete experiences be built up from abstract particulars?
On the object side, as we have seen he distinguishes in each case between the mere physical object and the work of art; but he also distinguishes both of these from what he calls the "concretization" (sometimes translated as "concretion") of the work of art, which he considers to be the true 'aesthetic object'.
He relishes the "thisness" of any detail that "centres our attention with its concretion", like the yellow wax from the dance floor left on Emma Bovary's satin slippers.Mr Wood challenges a host of conventions.
Hunts, feasts, battles, storms, and landscapes were described with a brilliant concretion of detail rarely paralleled since, while the abler poets also contrived subtle modulations of the staple verse-paragraph to accommodate dialogue, discourse, and argument.
Nodule, rounded mineral concretion that is distinct from, and may be separated from, the formation in which it occurs.
A quite random or a strictly chronological ordering of a collection might also achieve some harmonies and happy juxtapositions, but only the poet's own arrangement carries the sense of a conversation with him, as he proposes and rethinks and offers yet another concretion of his private reality, "each one," as Larkin says in another context, "double-yolked with meaning and meaning's rebuttal".
The blueberries, the scientists said, are objects known as concretions that form within sedimentary rocks.
Minerals also are produced by the human body: hydroxylapatite [Ca5(POH)3(OH)] is the chief component of bones and teeth, and calculi are concretions of mineral substances found in the urinary system.
Concretions of manganese oxide, evidently formed in the process of subaqueous weathering of volcanic rocks, have been found in dense concentrations with a total abundance of 1011 tons.
From an economic standpoint the manganese nodules (actually concretions of manganese dioxide) are more important.
In 2005 Marjorie Chan of the University of Utah and coauthors presented a detailed geologic and geochemical study of the processes that led to the formation of the concretions in the Navajo sandstone.
