Summary
| Description |
English: Collapse breccia from the Ordovician of Arkansas, USA. (public display, Geology Department, Wittenberg University, Springfield, Ohio, USA)
Breccia is a poorly sorted rock having angular large grains. Breccias form many ways - examples range from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic (e.g., volcanic breccia, xenolith breccia, boiling breccia, landslide breccia, seismite breccia, karst collapse breccia, mudchip breccia, pedogenic breccia, hydrothermal breccia, injectite breccia, tectonic breccia/fault breccia, impact breccia, etc.). The rock shown here is a carbonate collapse breccia from Arkansas. It formed when a subsurface dissolutional void (= karst cavity; = cave) collapsed. Stratigraphy: Everton Formation, Middle Ordovician Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site attributed to the Rush Creek District, Marion County, northern Arkansas, USA |
