Mercer Caverns Gallery: Simon's Thumb

"Simon's Thumb" was named after the children's game "Simon Says." In this case, Simon said "Thumbs up."
The Thumb is a stalgmite, its rounded form displays how stalagmites are formed by the accumulation of minerals deposited from drops of mineral-laden water falling on the formation from above.
