The OSHA mine safety guys were responsible for inspecting

show caves. As a result we had to open Round Spring Cave to them for safety inspection. So some guy shows up with a solid brass rod and pokes it at cave formations to determine if they are solidly attached to the ceiling. One area pretty far back in the cave we had a tunnel to duck through and then it opened back up. On the right was a dry area (dry ceiling with no dripping) over a clay area that had been used by bears to hibernate as there were numerous wallows. Anyway, pointing back to the trail from which we'd traveled we'd point out the cave formation we'd ducked under that resembled a hanging anvil with a small area of attachment to the ceiling.

That formation really drove the OSHA dweeb nuts.
