MoRockHunter Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So I went to a big cave yesterday and the ceiling was about 40 to 50 high in most spots but I noticed what it think are crinoids embedder into the ceiling and look at the world a little differently now. First to get to the cave we had to climb a steep hill and the entrance was about 60 or so feet off the ground and anyway I just found it crazy that even though you could tell that huge layers of the cave had fallen in at different times it's just blows my mind to think that the water level used to be this high and also that must be a long time period right? I mean these things are from ceiling to ground floor making it at least 70 feet deep and so I wonder how can this time period be accurately dated? I don't think it can. Dang that sucks I really wanted to put some pics on here but I can't because only can put 3.9 mb and just one pic is 13mb.....they are really nice fossils too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Due to mountain building and thrust, tectonics, and erosion, layers that in the distant past was sea floor can now be higher. Geologic forces at work. And yes, due to location and the types of fossils things can be relatively accurately dated. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
