Giant swallow-tail twin gypsum on the entrance of Spipola Cave, Bologna,
Italy. The cave is totally under the Miocene gypsum bed, but there are many calcite
speleothem in it as a result of incongruent dissolution. |

Frost denudation limestone pinnacles on Triassic dolomitic limestone
slope, north of Bassano, northern Italy. It resembles those of Huanglong Ravine (photo
14), or Beijing suburb (photo 18) from points of both morphology or origin. |

Glacial pavement on Triassic dolomitic limestone at Southern Alps, Rifugio
Sennes, Northern Italy, similar with those of Canada (photo 39) or UK (photo 45), but
originated from mountain glaciation rather than continental ice sheet. |

Chalk quarry at Playhatch, near Reading, UK, with chert beds being seen on
the quarry wall, but very few karst feature on this deep fresh exposure. |

Sedimentary structure of a 1.22m high stalagmite taken from Panlong Cave,
Guilin, China. Environmental change course of the past 36,000 years was reconstructed with
the section. Big trapezium holes: sampling points for C14 dating; small rectangular holes:
AMSC14 dating sampling points; small round holes: stable isotopic sampling points. |
