  Blanchard Springs Caverns - Ozark-St. Francis National Forests
Throughout the Dripstone Trail, one walks amidst features of indescribable beauty, which are older than the pyramids.
A vast amount of dripstone is found in this portion of the Caverns for two reasons.
First, this section is higher than the other, allowing air-chemistry changes which cause the dripstone to form, and second, this portion is older than lower areas, giving the features more time to develop.

 More Creationist Research, PART Ib: GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Uniformitarian geologists assume that dripstone deposits, such as stalagmites and stalactites, form very slowly, and therefore, the existence of large stalagmites and stalactites in natural limestone caves would have required tens of thousands of years or more to form.
It is a common practice to attempt to fix the age of dripstone by the rate at which it forms, but this is plainly a valueless calculation.
They suggested that this lag may be due to the time necessary to allow the removal of carbon dioxide from solution, or it may be due to the time necessary to supersaturate the solution with calcium carbonate before solid nuclei of the precipitating compound will become stable.
