Here is a weird one just found under the beach sands at Isle of Palms, SC.
The back is encrusted with shells, sand, and such.  Not much to see there.
Like most beaches around here, the sand is pumped in from shoals (sometimes miles out), so I have found live-ish 50 cal shells, bullets, etc.
Any help with this is appreciated.

the formation of concrection like this is because the "cartrige" material and oxide has served as cement to the surrounding material.
Another process well know in paleontology shows that some change in the composizion of the sourrunding ground (halo ?) due to the changing in PH (putrefaction) can precipitate salts present in the water and they cement the souraunding matrix buildiing a concrection.

I think something on the shell (tracer ?) have leak out building the concretion ... here in the WWII places you find somethimes strange thinks like this and sometime around cartriges the soil is more "solid".
