A deposit more or less resembling an inverted stalactite, formed by calcareous water dropping on the floors of caverns; hence, a similar deposit of other material.
An inverted icicle-shaped deposit that builds up on a cave floor beneath a stalactite and is formed by the same process as a stalactite.
A calcium carbonate deposit which builds upward from the cave floor as a result from water dripping on the floor.
a common speleothem which rises up from the caved floor from calcite dripped from the ceiling.
A cone-shaped mineral deposit that forms on the floor of a cave and is usually made up of travertine, which precipitates as water rich in dissolved limestone drips down from the cave's ceiling. See also stalactite.
A conical deposit of dripstone built up from a cave floor.
A speleothem built up from a floor by water dripping from above. It will commonly have a matching stalactite above, and the two may eventually join to form a column.
Calcium carbonate formation resembling an inverted stalactite, formed on the floor of a cave by the dripping of percolating calcareous water.
Standing calcite formation
A conical deposit of mineral matter, usually calcite, which is developed upward from the floor of a cave by the action of dripping water.
a cylinder of calcium carbonate projecting upward from the floor of a limestone cave
a cone of calcite rising from the floor of a cavern
a conical mineral deposit, typically calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern and formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water
a limestone cave formation that grows upward from the floor
a type of speleothem formed by the deposit of calcium carbonate which rises from the floor of a limestone cave due to the dripping of mineralized solutions
A deposit of calcium carbonate which builds upward from a cave floor as a result of water dripping from above. See also Speleothem, Stalactite.
A mineral deposit ( speleothem) which projects upwards from a cave floor. See stalactite. more details...
grows up from the floor as water drips from above, often (but not always) grows beneath a stalactite. It has a rounded top, compared to the carrot shaped stalactite.
An upward-pointing cone of limestone that grows when drips of water hit the floor of a cave.
rise from the floor, and are many times, but not always, formed by dripping water from stalactites above. They are usually larger in diameter than stalactites and more rounded on top.
Calcite mineral deposit growing upwards as water containing Calcium Bicarbonate evaporates on it, depositing calcium carbonate
A post of dripstone growing up from a cave floor.
A column or ridge of calcium carbonate rising from the floor of a limestone cave formed by the evaporation of water dripping from above.
a formation of calcium carbonate, shaped like a cone, built up on the floor of cave, formed by water dripping from a stalactite. [AHDOS
A stalagmite (from the Greek stalagma ("Σταλαγμίτης"), "drop" or "drip") is a type of speleothem that rises from the floor of a limestone cave due to the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate. The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. If these formations grow together, meeting in the middle, the result is known as a column.
