Tufa columns at Mono Lake, California. Tufa is a variety of limestone, formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals from ambient temperature water bodies. Geothermally heated hot springs sometimes produce similar (but less porous) carbonate deposits known as travertine.hey are distinct from most tufa deposits in that they lack any significant macrophyte component; this is due to the salinity excluding mesophilic organisms. Some tufa columns may actually form from hot-springs and therefore actually be a form of travertine.
In the backfill of the tufa dam, different layers of burnt soil and ash are present (Fig. 8). The last lake deposit related to the top of the dam is a greyish layer (a), capped by pure black clay. Both layers, when moving upstream, first dip (Fig. 8) and then become more or less horizontal.nvironmental conditions and age of the end of Tufa dam build-up. Back-and/or overfill deposits of the Tsigaba and Tukhul dams (Fig. 1 B) yield detailed information about the timing and reasons for the end of tufa dam build-up.
