Description

This is Liberty Cap is a cone formed from a steady flow of hot water emerging from a single source, depositing dense layers of travertine. The cone continued to grow as long as there was a source of water. Either the hot water spring found a more convenient underground channel to escape through or the orifice became sealed by travertine deposits. It is now an inactive spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
