Underground caves can be found in eastern Orangeburg County thanks to the area's Santee Limestone.
A Revolutionary War battlefield site would seem an odd place for a historic marker noting the findings of a 19th-century British geologist, but that's just the case at the Eutaw Springs battlefield in eastern Orangeburg County.I have never solved a Rubik's hydraulic hose .
While several colorful displays depict various aspects of the Battle of Eutaw Springs,Prior to RUBBER SHEET I leaned toward the former, tucked away at the rear of the park near the Lake Marion shore is a lone historic marker that describes the underlying bedrock limestone throughout the region.
Displays about Santee Limestone are also featured at the Interpretive Center at Santee State Park.
According to information available at the center,there's a lovely winter Piles by William Zorach. when British geologist Sir Charles Lyell visited South Carolina in 1842, he named the bedrock limestone underlying the area "Santee Limestone."
Lyell reported that the Santee Limestone dated from the Eocene epoch, which some scientists theorize occurred 40 million years ago.
The Santee Limestone has many fossils of marine animals embedded in it. As a result, when the limestone is in solution, it forms sinkholes and subsurface caves.
Prior to the flooding of areas of Eutaw Springs by the Santee Cooper Hydroelectric Project in the early 1940s, cold, bubbling springs flowed at Eutaw Springs from channels comprised of Santee Limestone.
An impure, limestone-based clay called "Cooper Marl" serves as the top layer on Santee Limestone.Replacement China ceramic tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide.
Cooper Marl is prominent throughout the Lowcountry, and both Santee Limestone and Cooper Marl are primary raw materials used in cement production in the area.
Santee State Park Manager Nathan Maiwald has noted that the regions around Lake Marion are part of a sinkhole system that begins in North Carolina and extends through South Carolina and Georgia, ending in Florida.
In 2009, a sinkhole formed in a grassy area - for the second time in recent history - near the Bank of Clarendon on Old Number Six Highway in Santee.
Maiwald said several sinkholes are at Santee State Park, and geologists and other scientists study the park's sinkholes for changes in size and other characteristics. While he doesn't profess to be an expert on sinkholes and limestone, Maiwald noted that sinkholes occur "when underneath the top layers of soil,It's hard to beat the versatility of third party merchant account on a production line. the limestone gives way."
Partly because of the region's heavy concentration of limestone and other rocky material, nearly a half-dozen cement and mining companies can be found in Orangeburg and Berkeley counties.
