[edit] merger

shouldn't this article be merged with stalagmites? they are very closely related, and chances are people would like to know about both. --58.107.30.145 13:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pic removal

By definition, stalagtites are in caves, so I have removed the icicle pic. Even if it has some relevance, there are just too many pictures here for such a small article. --DanielCD 14:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • One or more of these photos should be replaced (especially the dark one) with ones that are better for for illustrative purposes.Ian mckenzie 23:11, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know if there is any evidence that microorganisms are involved in the formation of stalactites? 80.42.69.126 00:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] largest stalactite

This claim is a little dubious. Could a citation be put up? I know of one that is reportedly larger by quite a bit. Is this information at all useful if it is not going to be objective? --5telios 14:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stalactiflat

Now this is a cool formation. Anyone care to write an article? Oh, and I have a photo if anyone does write such an article. Rklawton (talk) 01:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
