Bearing, carrying, or containing calcium or lime; producing calcareous deposits.
From Latin 'calcis' (lime/calcium) + '-gerous' (bearing or carrying, from 'gerere'). An older and more formal variant of 'calciferous,' used in geological contexts.
Calcigerous springs in places like Mammoth Hot Springs literally build mountains of travertine—day after day, water deposits tiny amounts of calcium that accumulate into terraces of pale stone that look like nature's own sculpture garden.
