-Typical colors: Brown, reddish-orange, gray, tan, yellow, and white.
-Typical sizes: 2 to 12 centimeters, rarely larger.
-Typical shapes: Potato-like (some rounded due to water action like thsoe found along the beaches and rivers).
-Most distinguishing characteristic: Most nodules look like as if they had been tumbled to some degree (water action), and some look "wet"/polished due to glacial activity.
