| In daytime, it always hides in forest fringes or bosks, sometimes climbs cliffs of flowstone beach and bare rocks. |
|
| Cave walls down which water habitually runs may become covered with sheets of travertine flowstone. |
|
| The cavern abounds in apparent waterfalls, veils, and tents of colored stone, known as flowstone. |
|
| An undamaged cluster of two foot long straws hang under a shelf of rock topped with flowstone, and is well worth a visit. |
|
| Where the deposition of calcite is concentrated along cracks, calcite is deposited as flowstone, or dripstone. |
|
| Water flowing along ledges and down walls leaves behind sheets of calcite, which build up a massive deposit known as a flowstone. |
|
| Most flowstone deposits are composed of calcite, though other minerals occasionally are present. |
|
| Nine metres down it is possible to get off the ladder on to a ledge of jammed rocks and enter a parallel aven, with much flowstone on the walls and water entering at the top. |
|
| These deposits may accumulate to form stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, helictites, cave pearls, and many other formations. |
|
| It took them up a short corridor, along a rising slope of terraced mustard-colored flowstone, and into a small domed chamber. |
|
| Our last station was a bit awkward as we had to lie on flowstone with a thin sheet of water flowing over it, but at least it was the last station. |
|
| Visually 31 corroded flowstone indicates that the Karain cave developed in several phases. |
|
| Sheet-like layered deposits on cave walls or floors are called flowstone. |
|
| The ladder can be belayed to number of flakes, and it is possible to swing off halfway down and into a parallel shaft entirely coated with flowstone. |
|
| Heading up Leck Fell Lane, past the cascade marking the start of the Cigalere, we continued upstream until arriving at the nice flowstone shelf with loads of straws. |
|
| Slip down here, keeping right near the bottom and follow the rift along for a few metres until you see a negotiable route back up the rift over flowstone. |
|
| Stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, draperies, frostwork, and other limestone formations also are present in the cave. |
|
| Increasing number of visitors to the site meant that the impact on the flowstone was large and parts of it were damaged. |
|
| Although the fossil remains of MH1 and MH2 were too old to be dated directly, their ages were estimated from dating the uranium-rich flowstone matrix that surrounded them. |
|
| Rather than drop down to rejoin the stream, it had circled back on itself like the oxbow in the sump, ending in a large chamber walled with flowstone. |
|
|
|
| The cave is mostly dry, well aerated and relatively open, which is why the flowstone gives a degraded appearance due to prevailing weathering processes. |
|
| The Karain cave consists of several small halls separated by flowstone walls. These smaller halls are 12-15m wide, and up to 5m high near the relatively wide entrance. |
|
| Other speleothems include flowstone that looks like a rock river, rounded polished cave pearls, and feathery aragonite. |
|
| In a few locations flowstone covers parts of paintings, with the potential for dating. |
|
| Have participants help you decorate the cave with soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and flowstone. |
|
| Extending over the left side of the figure is a flowstone deposit which extends across part of the animal's muzzle and antler set. |
|
| Chronological control for the fauna was established based on two independent uranium-series dates on clean carbonate extracted from flowstone at the base of the excavation. |
|
| The cave decorations consist of stalactites, stalagmites, pillars, drapery, rimstone pools, flowstone, helictites, soda straws, and other unusual crystal formations. |
|
| A short slither down enters an attractive little chamber, known as Flowstone Chamber. |
