Cool
Watched a Nature special on Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. The water there has such a high concentration of calcium carbonate that it rapidly forms new limestone deposits on anything in the water that doesn't move quickly enough. The limestone is called travertine and encases the mosses and water plants in stony ropes at rates up to one inch per year.
