The deflected subfield of the Stalactite field should record stations where a deflected stalactite can be found.
Deflected stalactites are stalactites which show some noticeable slant from the vertical. They grow this way primarily by air movement causing more minerals to be deposited on one side from evaporation or deposition. They can occur singularly or in clusters. If a deflected stalactite is found, they can often be found at other nearby stations where conditions may be similar. The airflow which caused the deflection may still be present or conditions could have changed such that airflow is no longer evident.
