Longhorn Cavern Deemed
Million Years in Making
Texes Longhorn Cavern, snec-
teruler scenic masterpiece of Na-
ture, was at least a million years
in the making, geologists estimate.
The huge cavern is awesome
evidence of the changes wrought
through the ages by variations in
climate, earth movements, the rise
and fall of the seas and the slow
solution of limestone by water.
Longhorn Cavern, located near
Burnet in the Highland Lake* re-
gion northwest of Austin, is one
of the state's favorite attractions
for tourists and sightseers. Guided
tout* are conducted daily through
the explored portions of the cave,
which Is one of the world's largest.
Richard W. Rush, assistant pro-
fessor of geology at the University
of Texas, linn traced the sequence
of events which led to the develop-
ment of the rnvern from the time
when Texas lay beneath a huge
sea. approximately a half-billion
years ago.
The stone in which the cavern
was eventually carved out was
formed from limy muds deposited
at the bottom of this sea. Over
countless centuries this mud de-
posit gradually rose out of the sea,
only to sink beneath it again, a
process which was repeated a
number of times.
Finally slow uplift raised Texas
above the sea for the last time and
the limestone which had hardened
from the mud deposit* lay exposed
to the elements for over sixty
million years.
At that time Central Texas was
a humid swampland in which gi-
gantic dinosaurs and other rep-
tilian monsters roamed.
The actual beginnings of Long-
horn Cavern probably occurred
during the Ice Age. when the
northern part of the United States
was covered by glaciers, mors
than a million year* ago.
As the glaciers retreated, about
50,000 years ago, the climate ef
Texas became drier and the
ground weter level began to drop,
dissolving the limestone as it feu.
Underground streams flowing
through the cave helped to carve
out the labyrinthian pi
and huge rooms, until the cavern
was excavated to its most remote
chamber, an eerie ISO 'fe£Uhattltr~
the surface of the earth.
Prehistoric cavemen probably
sought refuge in the subterranean
depths of the cavern to avoid be-
ing devoured by the fearsome
mammals which ranged the coun-
tryside in dim ages yast.
“The main approach to the cnv-.
ern entrance is through a collapsed
sink or deep depression in the lime-
stone, with remnants of the origi-
nal roof preserved as a natural
bridge over the steps leading t#
the cave mouth.
The scenic twauty of the cavern
is heightened by the sparkling dis-
plays of calcite crystals, the un-
usual shapes formed of flint and
the clusters of stalactites and sta-
lagmites which in some instanoaa
have fused to form impressive
columns.
