B299-39a.jpg (6408 bytes) Glacial pavement and grikes on Silurian dolomite, near Lion Head, Bruce Peninsula, Canada, with forest rehabilitated on bare rocks during the past 60 years.

B299-40a.jpg (5736 bytes) A CO2 geyser well at the Ferrarelle Mineral Water field,
Central  Italy.

B299-41a.jpg (13295 bytes) 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.

B299-42a.jpg (3876 bytes) 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.

B299-43a.jpg (6709 bytes) 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.

B299-44a.jpg (4909 bytes) 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.

B299-45a.jpg (5840 bytes) Glacial pavement on Carboniferous limestone, great Asby Scar Nature Preserve, Cumbria, UK.

B299-46a.jpg (6681 bytes) deep sharp karren on the glacial pavement, Great Asby Scar Nature Preserve, Cumbria, UK.

B299-47a.jpg (5888 bytes) Abundant unique speleothem in Fairy Cave, Buchan Karst, Victoria, Australia.
(B299-47.jpg, 72KB)
B299-48a.jpg (8724 bytes) 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.
