    Extractions: PREFACE: In the small South Australian town of Naracoorte exists a complex of limestone caves. It was here, in 1969, that one of Australia's most significant palaeontological discoveries was made. Deep within Victoria Fossil Cave , a silt deposit containing the remains of many tens of thousands of Pleistocene animals was found. The following text was developed from a draft nomination prepared by Dr. Suzanne Hand B.Sc., PhD. in June 1988. Its purpose was to propose that the Pleistocene vertebrate deposits of the Victoria Fossil Cave be included in the World Heritage List on behalf of the South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service. This work tells the story of the Victoria Fossil Cave very well, and so I have included it here as an introduction to my discussion of the Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park. The effort to have the cave designated was a success, and the small country town of Naracoorte now enjoys the distinction of having its very own World Heritage site. This is a great honor, and something which the town can take enormous pride in. Please make sure to visit the official Naracoorte Caves National Park web site, as it contains much additional interesting information.

    Extractions: Two thirds of the area of Jamaica are covered by cave riddled limestone and are deposited on top of the older igneous, metamorphic and clastic sedimentary rocks. The age of the limestone ranges from Paleocene to Middle Miocene (566 - 14 millions of years) and can be divided in two main stratigraphic units: the Yellow Limestone Group and the White Limestone Supergroup in which nearly all caverns are formed. Jamaica's limestone is very young compared to the situation in Belgium where the caves are formed in limestone of Devonian and Carboniferous age (408 - 320 millions of years). In the centre of the island complete erosion of the limestone revealed the underlying cretaceous rocks as a series of stratigraphic windows (inliers). Surface drainage from these impermeable rocks sinks in the surrounding limestone and has produced most of the large river caves of Jamaica like Quashies River Cave, Coffee River Cave,...

    http://www.gsi.ie/everyone/simplegeol/caves/caves.htm
    
    Extractions: Caves normally occur in limestone rocks because they are soluble in slightly acid water. Although water in limestone areas normally travels down through cracks and joints in the limestone, which gradually dissolve into bigger spaces, we only call them caves when they are big enough for humans to enter. Pothole is another name for a cave, but usually indicates a vertical shaft, rather than a near horizontal passage. Cave formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, helictites, gour pools and curtains occur when water, saturated in dissolved limestone, drips into free airspace within a cave and gives off carbon dioxide and precipitates calcium carbonate (also called calcite - the same material as the rock itself).

    Extractions: Geology To witness the beginning of the formation of Wind Cave, one of the world's oldest caves, you would have to have been here 320 million years ago. At that time parts of the limestone that constitute the upper levels of Wind Cave were being dissolved into cave passageways. As ancient ocean levels fluctuated, these passages were filled with sediments. Beneath the ocean, a thick layer of sediments continued to be deposited above that limestone. About 60 million years ago, the forces that uplifted the Rocky Mountains also uplifted the modern Black Hills producing large fractures and cracks in the overlying limestone. Over millions of years, water moving slowly through those cracks dissolved the limestone to produce the complex maze of the cave's passages. Later erosion changed surface drainage patterns that caused subsurface water levels to drop, draining the cave passages. As the modern Wind Cave formed, many of these newer passages intersected the original cave, revealing the red clay and sandstone sediments from 320 million years ago.

    Extractions: Stalactites and stalagmites in Mammoth's Drapery Room Beneath the surface of south central Kentucky lies a world that is virtually unparalleled. It is a labyrinth characterized by mile upon mile of dark, seemingly endless passageways. The geological process resulting in this world that we refer to as Mammoth Cave began hundreds of millions of years ago and continues today. The Ancient World 350 million years ago was a very different time than today. The North American continent was located much further south; at that time Kentucky was about 10 degrees south of the equator, and a shallow sea covered most of the southeastern United States. The warm waters supported a dense population of tiny organisms whose shells were made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As these creatures died, their shells accumulated by the billions on the floor of the ancient sea. In addition, calcium carbonate precipitated from the water itself. The build-up of material continued during the next 70 million years until some seven hundred feet of limestone and shale was deposited. Late in the deposition of the limestone, about fifty to sixty feet of sandstone was deposited over much of the area by a large river system that emptied into the sea from the north.

Links The following information about karst geology was prepared by Mr. Chen from the Guilin Karst Institute for tourists visiting Wulong Karst National Geological Park. The term "karst" comes from Karst plateau, a limestone highland in northern Slovenia. In the late 19th century, Cvijic(1865-1927), a Serbian geographer first studied the limestone landforms developed there, and applied the term "karst" to the landforms with bare rocks in many shapes and sparse vegetation. After this the word karst was adopted worldwide to describe the synthetic geological action of soluble rocks, chemical dissolution by water and associated phenomena. Stone teeth, karren, cone karst, tower karst, underground rivers, caves etc. are all karst landforms. The Chinese word for karst literally means "dissolve rock landform". Most soluble rocks are carbonate rocks, of which calcium carbonate is the principal component. Carbon dioxide in the water reacts with calcium carbonate in the rock to produce HCO3- and Ca2+. This reduces the calcium carbonate, dissolving the rock. Along with erosion and collapse, this mechanism forms negative landforms such as karrens, solution grooves, depressions, dolines, and karst valleys, as well as positive landforms such as tower karst and cone karst on the s urface, and caves underground. Because of the reversible nature of the reaction, when conditions change and the solute in the aqueous solution reaches saturation, calcium carbonate is deposited, forming different speleothems.

    Extractions: Cave crawling in France Long before the Louvre housed its first painting, before Caesar conquered the Gauls, before humans first fermented the grape to make wine, even before prehistoric people ever daubed paint on a cave wall, France began to roll over a hotspot. Formerly submerged areas of southwestern France were uplifted, exposing vast swathes of continental shelf and shoreline to the ravages of weather and volcanism. Beginning at the edge of the old limestone continental shelf, the geologically inclined traveler can trek all the way to the granite of the continent proper, taking in everything along the way from cave paintings to volcanoes to the excellent local wines. For the full trip, it will take about a week to 10 days. Renting a car is essential to this geologic adventure, as some of the distances between major destinations are long. Once you've arrived in an area, however, bicycling is the ideal way to scout out the local geology. Many lovely hotels as well as bed and breakfasts rent rooms in the larger towns, or you can stay at the ubiquitous campsites scattered throughout the region. If you do decide to camp, bring gear for all weather, as the climate is variable and, even in the summer, can vacillate from hot and dry to cold and rainy from one day to the next.

    http://www.uwm.edu/Course/geosci697-tectonic/GroupD/AlumCave/AlumCaveBluffs.html
    
    Extractions: Location Alum Cave Bluffs is located near the center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee approximately 8 miles south of Sugarlands Visitor Center along Newfound Gap Road (US 441) and is about 4 miles north of Newfound Gap. At the trailhead, a wooden bridge crosses the Little Pigeon River. The trail continues for about 2.5 miles along Alum Cave Creek, climbing 1360 ft. to Alum Cave Bluffs. The rocks exposed at Alum Cave Bluffs consist of a dark-gray phyllite characteristic of the Anakeesta Formation. The Anakeesta is interpreted to have formed from mud and silt in a deep marine setting, and the presence of iron sulfide minerals such as pyrite indicates that there was little to no oxygen present as these sediments were deposited (Flohr et. al, 1995). As the Iapetus began to close in the early Paleozoic, the rocks of the Anakeesta Formation were thrust northwest along the Greenbriar Fault, and were subsequently metamorphosed to green-schist facies (Flohr et. al, 1995). Following the collision between Laurentia and the Piedmont in the later Paleozoic, the Anakeesta was thrust further northwest along the Great Smoky Fault (Flohr et. al, 1995).
