The Stalagmite field of the Aragonite section should list stations where stalagmites of aragonite are observed. Gypsum stalagmites and calcite stalagmites have their own fields on the form.
Aragonite Stalagmites are secondary floor deposits of aragonite and are similar to calcite stalagmites but are not smooth. They are covered with jagged aragonite nodules. These nodules are often brittle and easily broken if touched. It may be difficult to distinguish aragonite stalagmites from calcite coral stalagmites.
An aragonite stalagmite of any size or shape should be recorded in this field.
