A priori considerations. An extensive review of the form and mineralogy of the secondary cave deposits is provided by Hill and Forti (1997), but also see Ford and Williams (1989). By far the most useful speleothems for geological purposes are the most common forms stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones composed of calcite, and occasionally aragonite. Other deposits that have been used to derive useful information include travertines, gypsum crusts, calcite veins and scalenohedral calcite (dog-tooth spar).

White, 1988 Ford and Williams, 1989 Gillieson 1996). The classifications are all generally similar although they differ somewhat in detail. The present paper focuses on a specific sub-set of cave sediments the clastic sediments derived from surface and subsurface weathering and carried into and through the cave system by mainly fluvial processes.
