Tiny Tree Tribble? No, It's a Small Wasp Gall! (6 inset pictures!)
6 pictures in notes above (and 1 text note)showing another kind of gall known as an "Oak Apple"!
This is a small gall from the Speckled Gall Wasp forming on an oak leaf and is about 1/3" in diameter, and inside there is a tiny larva growing! It will continue to grow until it's about 1" in diameter and develop pretty speckles all over it.
