	Calcareous Tufa; Calcium Carbonate; Carbonates; Chemical Precipitation; Evaporation; Petrology; Playa Lakes; Precipitation; Sedimentary Structures	Tufa towers made of calcium carbonate, near Mono Lake California. Tufa is a chemical sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate, formed by evaporation as a think, surficial, soft, spongy, cellular or porous, semifriable incrustation around the mouth of a hot or cold calcareous spring or seep. It can also form along a stream carrying calcium carbonate in solution, or be precipitated by algae or bacteria.
