Nodular texture
This page, like Earth, is still under construction. You can help me complete it for the price of a coffee! 
A rock with a nodular texture consists of nodules, rounded lumps of crystalline or amorphous solid material, surrounded by a matrix. Nodules are concretions and aggregates produced by chemical precipitation of minerals within a rock.
