Tidgy's Dad Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm not quite certain from these photos, but the rock underneath the specimen is either a conglomerate with rounded pebbles that have fallen or eroded out or it has holes where bivalves or brachiopods were but have now gone. The top bit looks like an interesting calcite growth to me. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 To follow, the blobs were redeposited by dissolution from the small holes in the conglomerate into a cave like opening where evaporation left the mineral to precipitate out in these shapes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Further, I think that we can deduce that this is a stalagmatic not stalagtistic deposit. How? the surface of some of the pillars is flat, if stalagtistic, all of the formations would generally be pointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
