Lehman Caves, a show cave in Great Basin National Park, Nevada, brags
about its "rare" shield formations.
Shields essentially consist of two parallel plates of calcite deposit.
Water flows between the plates and deposits stalactites on the lower
plate when it drips from the edge. The mystery is what keeps the
passage between the plates open. -- Mixon
