CONT

Stalagmites generally contain the most traceable time lines and a higher resolution stratigraphy than do stalactites and flowstone. Stalagmites reflect all of the complexity of dripping water and as a result are found in a great variety of shapes ... Tall cylindrical stalagmites (often referred to as "candles" or "broomhandles") are generally the most useful.
