Yes, they do look like Stalactite and Stalagmite. Difference is these are mostly formed by wind and water erosion, which is largely a physical weathering process that modified clastic sedimentary rocks. While Stalactite and Stalagmites are chemical weathering process in subterranean caves which modified carbonate sedimentary rocks. Need any more geology? :)

Pfrr... I know all that (without all those fancy words) :D
I just always confuse which one is from the top and which one form the bottom of the cave.

Stalactite from top and Stalagmite from bottom :)

Thank you :)
