That would be the “Diamond Horseshoe.”  See page 406 in 50 Years of Texas 
Caving (the encyclopedia of Texas caving).  You should have a copy in your 
library.

Subject: [Texascavers] Caverns of Sonora

There are 3 or 4 cavers on this forum who have actually gone caving in Caverns 
of Sonora - especially if you call "hauling out rocks," as caving.

I once was shown a rare picture of some unusual speleothem off-trail in Sonora. 
 There were similar, but different pictures in the books about Texas caves and 
the Texas Caver.

My very fuzzy memory was the speleothem resembled a large onion ring or a 
horseshoe or both, but I may have it confused with the other off-trail photos, 
since I haven't seen it in 30 years.  The speleothem and passage area both had 
a special name.



I had an opportunity once around 1986 to go off-trail in NBC, and blew it off, 
thinking I would get another chance someday.  Some of you might have been on 
that trip.  I assume that part of that trip is now what the Wild Tour visits.


I do sincerely apologize for contributing to cavers leaving CaveTex, but I went 
out of my way to ask cavers politely to ignore me and just hit the delete 
button.  I have no nefarious or malicious agenda, just bored out of my mind way 
out here beyond the Edge of the Caving Universe.
