This is a beautiful gall! It looks a lot like this one: http://bugguide.net/node/view/579097 I would love to see this in the Arthropod Gall mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/147306057

This looks like a gall, growth caused by the larva of an insect inside plant tissue, probably one of the many oak galls.
