Summary[edit]

Description
English: Karren-weathered limestone in the Cambrian of South Australia.

This outcrop is in a South Australian Lower Cambrian unit called the Wirrapowie Limestone, which consists of a limestone succession having archaeocyathans, trilobites, stromatolites, shell hash horizons, limestone conglomerates/intraclastic limestone breccias, and oncolitic limestones.

The small-scale dissolution channels on limestone seen here is a weathering style called karren weathering. Several types are known, all with non-English terms. Channels having sharp ridges between are called "rillenkarren".

Stratigraphy: Wirrapowie Limestone, Tommotian Stage to lower Atdabanian Stage, lower Lower Cambrian

Locality of section: dry creek cut upstream from an abandoned railroad bridge at Mernmerna, South Australia (31° 34’ 25.30" South latitude, 138° 24’ 44.77" East longitude)
