Stalagmites occur as the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate when the carbon dioxide is eliminated from the carbonate-saturated water dripping from above. Sometimes salt and other types of stalagmites are formed as a result of evaporation. stalagmite[stə′lag‚mīt] (geology) A conical speleothem formed upward from the floor of a cave by the action of dripping water; usually composed of calcium carbonate. stalagmite a cylindrical mass of calcium carbonate projecting upwards from the floor of a limestone cave: formed by precipitation from continually dripping water stalagmite
