How are they formed?
Septarian Concretion or Septarian Nodules were formed during the Cretaceous Period.  That was around 50 to 70 million years ago, when sea levels were much higher.  Periodic volcanic eruptions killed the smaller sea life which sank to the sea bed and started decomposing. The minerals in the shells and carcasses attracted sea floor sediments which accumulated around the carcasses and formed nodules or mud balls.
