Capricorn caves journey, Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.
The sedimentary rock of Capricorn Caves started forming under the sea about 390 million years ago. That time, corals were growing in shallow waters around volcanic islands started building up as limestone on the sea floor. During the tumultuous geological period, this limestone bed was uplifted in a series of crustal plate collisions and volcanic eruptions. After the limestone emerged from the sea to become land, it was exposed to acidic rain water and underground water flowing through cracks. These waters dissolved the calcite in limestone, hollowing out caves and re-depositing as decorations or speleothems.
