Summary

Description

Canyon passage in a cave in Virginia, USA.

Skyline Caverns is developed in structurally tilted carbonates (mixed dolostones and limestones) of the Rockdale Run Formation (Beekmantown Group, Lower Ordovician).

Cave passages vary significantly in their size, sinuousity, and cross-section shape. Passages that are taller than they are wide are called canyon passages - they form in the vadose zone (above the water table).

Locality: Skyline Caverns, Front Royal, central Warren County, northern Virginia, USA
