Cave Cups start from a single point in a supersaturated cave pool. As they grow, they grow out and up, creating a 'cup' or 'bowl' shape and slowly sinking the point into the pool.[1] They are often a smoth simiconical in shape. as these speleothems are delicate and form in water the pools they can be found in are always calm with little to no flow. The size of Caves cups ranges from 1cm to 20cm in diamiter, there size is determend by the depth of the pools they form in, the deeper the pool the biger the cve cup will be. the origin point for the groath of these formations can be ether from individual calcite crystals or form fragmented speleothems.[2][3]
Theses formations have been reported in caves in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Korea, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Venezuela, and the United States.[4] and can range in size from smaller than the head of a pin to a large salad bowl, these speleothems are quite common and tend to form with crystal dogtooth spars.
