Can anyone tell me what this is? Found in a small crevice of a piece of limestone. There is a similar one broken out of the rock above it and another sticking out into the cavity right next to the broken one.

That might be another anyway broken out rock directly above this

Under the broken bit and to the left loons like a similar shape embedded in the rock with only a portion sticking out

And maybe another left of it

Perhaps the start of a stalagmite? Looks like a natural path for water

Geologist here, that's earths itty butty titty. But seriously looks like a mini formation of mammillary calcite. (A speleothem)

It might be a tumor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_FRWUPcR7Y&t=39s

Probably a botryoidal structure. You can google it and check against other examples

Thanks for the link. That does appear to be pretty close to this I think. Now I just need to find how and why they form. Thanks again!
