For the record, it was NSS caver John Cochran of Albuquerque who
submitted the word formation in the original ballot of 59 entries.
Here are are few more examples of ways that the plural noun for cavers
could be used:
The city welcomed the formation of hundreds of NSS cavers to its annual
convention.
A formation of tired cavers was camped down by the creek where its
waters disappeared into a narrow crack in its limestone bed.
After exiting the cave, a hungry formation of twelve cavers went into
town to meet at the Oso Grille for dinner.
The formation of cavers carefully traversed the muddy ledge above the
deep black void.
The tireless formation of ridgewalking cavers diligently searched the
hillside for the elusively reported hole.
