A bursolith is a type of rock that forms when the fluid within a bursa, a type of underground sponge-like body, is preserved and eventually hardens into a mineralogical deposit. Bursoliths are typically composed of calcite, silica, or other minerals and can be found in various parts of the world, often in conjunction with other types of fossilized organisms.
