Summary
[edit]DescriptionCave boxwork (Wind Cave, Black Hills, South Dakota, USA) 48.jpg |
English: Cave boxwork in South Dakota, USA.
Boxwork is a scarce cave feature characterized by a network of intersecting veins projecting from cave walls or ceilings. Boxwork veins are typically composed of calcite, but quartz and gypsum boxwork have also been reported. Wind Cave in South Dakota’s Black Hills is the best locality on Earth for seeing abundant, well-developed cave boxwork. Wind Cave is developed in the Lower Mississippian Pahasapa Limestone. Early in the geologic history of Wind Cave, the rocks were attacked by sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and became decomposed, leaving a residual, crumbly, sandy-like material. Veins in the limestone bedrock were originally gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O - hydrous calcium sulfate), which is immune to sulfuric acid attack. The result was gypsum veins sticking out from cave walls. These projecting gypsum veins were later replaced by calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate).
