Flowstone (~center of photo, running up & down) and coralloids (cave popcorn; knobstone) on either side, all composed of travertine (calcitic speleothem).

Susanne, Photography said:
Can't expect anything less from Ansel Adams! May his work live forever! Thanks so much for sharing such interesting photographs!
James St. John said:
This is the "Veiled Statue", a large, flowstone-covered column (dripstone) composed of travertine (calcitic speleothem). (It's not a stalactite.)
The U.S. National Archives said:
@jsj1771 Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the formation in this photo and some of the other Ansel Adams photographs! The original captions we are posting here are part of the archival record, so we don't make changes to that. But when there is evidence that the caption is inaccurate, the archivists will typically include a note in the description in our online catalog (the Archival Research Catalog, or ARC for short www.archives.gov/research/arc/ ). We will pass the information you're sharing with us and everyone here on Flickr along to the still picture archivists. Thanks again, Jill (U.S. National Archives)
