stalagmitic

He touched the stalagmitic covering of the gallery with his finger.

The passage is spacious, and well decorated with stalagmitic formations.

The deepest implement observed was buried 50 cm under the stalagmitic surface.

The drawing was discovered after a stalagmitic film was removed from the bone's surface.

Uranium series dating is particularly used for dating stalagmitic calcite.

A stalagmitic sheath had almost completely enveloped him, so that it seemed to Harry he conversed with what was very nearly a stone statue.

Some of the deposits from which the burnt flints derived were overlain by an undisturbed stalagmitic floor.

It is also applied to brecciated and stalagmitic deposits on the floor of caves, which frequently contain osseous remains.

A fourth drawing on a stalagmitic pillar, representing a dwelling, had been severely damaged by rubbing with an abrasive agent or instrument.

One straining stalactite missed the satisfying kiss of its stalagmitic mate by barely a hairbreadth - that would take more ages yet to bridge.

But by some unguessable alchemy the ruts had been refilled with the stalagmitic stuff, restoring the perfect squareness of the hewn blocks.

The surface of the stone had cracked with age, the way dry cheese does, and the stalagmitic substance had come later, filling the cracks and preserving the whole.

It was a natural break in the wall of the cavern that had been trimmed into a keyhole arch shape and then subsequently covered with the pearly stalagmitic stuff.

In one of the see-through boxes lies a gruesome mass, a hand protruding outside of it, the whole sprouting stalagmitic crystals and bits of gaudy jewelry.

Since then, too, Hero and Aminza had searched diligently among the fragments of stalagmitic rock at the foot of the final rise, discovering nothing of Yibb-Tstll's emerald eye.

A skeleton, thought to be that of a Native American girl, found in one of the chasms, was estimated, from the current rate of stalagmitic growth, to be not more than 500 years old.

He found beneath the bed of mud which lies under the stalagmitic flooring of the cavern the tusk of a hyæna, and then a metatarsal bone of the cavern bear.

Calcite alabaster is found as either a stalagmitic deposit, from the floor and walls of limestone caverns, or as a kind of travertine, similarly deposited in springs of calcareous water.

A greater humidity in the air was verified by a sheen of moisture reflected off the walls, the stalactite icicles projecting down from the ceiling, and their stalagmitic mates growing up from the floor.

Unlike Trazior, some of the mountainous stalagmitic hives of Necromunda were wholly disconnected from any neighbour, isolated across immense metallic dunes of glittering despair, across seas of eerie chemical sludge.

With stalagmitic calcite, the position of the calcite in relation to the archaeological levels will provide at least a terminus result, and in some cases the archaeology may fortuitously be sandwiched between two datable calcite layers.

Upon the upper surface of this deposit, stalagmitic floors formed, and continued to do so intermittently and in different parts of the cave, until a further inflow of material entered the cave between 80,000 and 30,000 years ago.

This opaque, green banded mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses, in fractures and spaces, deep underground, where the water table and hydrothermal fluids provide the means for chemical precipitation.
