Some types of speleotems and cristal morphology of stalactite calcite in Kinderlinskaya cave (Republic of Bashkortostan)

The various types of speleotems were described and the morphology of calcite crystals of stalactites from Kinderlinskaya cave was studied. It was found that the tubular body of straw-stalactite formed calcite crystals in combination of skalenoedra and rhombohedron simple forms. Straw-stalactites formed in calm condition, in the absence of air flow, and their growth is limited by the salinity of water dripping, its inflow rate, crystallization forces and the force of gravity.
