The older stalactites are mainly in the galleries which are on the right side of the entrance. On the other hand the "infant" stalactites on the left side of entrance .
STALACTITES
They are the limestone tubular formations which are growing from the ceiling and downwards. Their length fluctuates between few centimetres and many metres
STALAGMITES
They are formed as the water drops, which carry
acid carbonate, fall on the ground under a stalactite. When a stalactite
meets a stalagmite, we have a new formation which is called "column"
HELICTITES
It's a rear kind of stalactite which is developed on the sides, on the floors even on the ceilings of the caves, towards many directions (up, side and down)
SHIELDS
They are being developed
as the water comes out through very thin fissures of the rock. Many times
their diameter is of some metres.
PEARLS
They are small formations like spheres
THE GOUR
They are another kind of formation which is also very interesting. Small
barriers of calcium carbonate which are placed on the floor of the cave.
The creation depends on the rainfall in the area of the cave
On Gour evolve a rear fauna
The "egg- shaped " and the " Tumour - shaped " are different kinds of formatious. They are dark - coloured and usually found shaped.
The " Cauliflower- like'' formation is another type of cave deposites. We can find them usually on the main body of a stalactite or a stalaguite.
And finally the "
Heccendrites'' in a variety of shapes.
