Hard, tiny white seed capsules?

This is just a fragment of the plant. I did not find the plant itself, but just this small branch, lying under a cedar tree at the edge of a field.

Could these be some sort of insect gall or cocoon or eggs?? Probably not ... there are plants with seed capsules like this.
