What are these?

First I saw this one, almost like the large acorn of the burr oak

Then I saw that there were number of them amidst the small acorns still growing

The are large and all have opened, as if to let out little creatures...


I glanced at the treeline as we walked to the far meadow and thought I saw a burr oak.

On closer inspection I discovered it is not a burr oak at all. It looks more like a red oak. But it has galls or perhaps nests of some kind.

Anyone know what these are?
