Wadi Grofit — Mud stalactites and ammonites

Mud stalactites formed from floodwaters carrying clay deposits. After the canyon floods with water carrying clay, as the flood recedes and the water evaporates, these drip formations are left behind that mimic cave stalactites. Only these are fragile and will probably disappear with the next flood. Lots of ammonite fossils also present in that wadi.
