Hey is this the defacto geology thread? Just wondering as I have a couple questions. Can a solution cave occur in igneous/metamorphosed igneous rock? Gneiss and Granite specifically. A place a few hours from here has a solution cave in it that I'd like to check out. There are also supposed to be marble deposits in the area. I *kinda* figure that the cave would be in the area of marble deposits, but I don't know for sure. If they can occur in Igneous rock, then that sucks because my search are just got a whole lot bigger. But if I can stick to areas where there is known to be marble deposits, then that narrows things down considerably.

Thanks, I figured that was the case. I had a few leads and looked at some mineral exploration reports that identified some areas with marble deposits, and then when I was fiddling with google earth, trying to find some other info that I've got in there, I clicked on "karst" (which I've never done before) and a marker came up right about where I had it zoomed to. Which is in the vicinity of where I'd "heard" that the caves were. So, I guess thats as good a spot as any to start with.
