Everything about The Big Clifty Sandstone totally explained
The
Big Clifty Sandstone is a
geologic formation in
Kentucky. It is
sandstone that's
Pennsylvanian in age. At
Mammoth Cave National Park it overlies the
Girkin Formation, the
Ste. Genevieve Limestone, and the
St. Louis Limestone, providing a cap for the entire cave system. The existence of Big Clifty and similar sandstones at Mammoth Cave is the cause for the sheer size of the cave passages below it due to water flow through them and subsequent dissolution. Once this cap of the Big Clifty dissolves, the cave will begin to shrink in size.
The Big Clifty Sandstone also appears as sandstone
knobs throughout south-central Kentucky, including the 200-foot tall
Pilot Rock on the border of
Todd County.
