A small knotlike protuberance.
Anatomy. A small mass of tissue or aggregation of cells.
Botany. A small knoblike outgrowth, as those found on the roots of many leguminous plants.
Mineralogy. A small rounded lump of a mineral or mixture of minerals, usually harder than the surrounding rock or sediment.
that actually makes more sense, especially since it was found in the same general area as that wood. Like I mentioned, it seemed a little small for an egg, as sparrow eggs are at least that big.
