Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cockpits (or rimstone dams) are not considered dripstones, as they form from minerals precipitating out of water that flows over the edges of a pool or basin, rather than from water dripping from the ceiling of a cave. The other options, stalagmites, stalactites, and soda straws, all form from the dripping of mineral-rich water.
