The Tray field of the Calcite section should record stations which exhibit cave trays.
Trays hang down from the ceiling or on overhangs from the walls but end abruptly on the bottom creating a noticeably flat underside. They usually form under bedrock ceiling pendants but may form under stalactites. In the Guadalupe Mountains, they are usually calcite and heavily encrusted with popcorn and aragonite frostwork. Trays can form next to each other at different levels. Hollow stalagmites can sometimes be found directly below the trays and may exhibit as a splash ring.
