LOL
Sorry but that is not the answer to the question I asked. What is the process to liquefy limestone.

Acidic water if I recall correctly.
ABE: Yes. From the same Wikipedia article:
The development of karst occurs whenever acidic water starts to break down the surface of bedrock near its cracks, or bedding planes. As the bedrock (typically limestone or dolostone) continues to degrade, its cracks tend to get bigger. As time goes on, these fractures will become wider, and eventually a drainage system of some sort may start to form underneath. If this underground drainage system does form, it will speed up the development of karst formations there because more water will be able to flow through the region, giving it more erosive power Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The smooth half-moon shape of the channel. It seems patently obvious to me that 1/2 moon shape indicates formation at the surface and a more rounded or football shape would indicate subsurface formation. Just look at features that we have today. A surface river forms a channel with a rounded bottom but the upper surface is flat since there is nothing but air above it.
Cross section of a typical river. While a channel forming underground is more rounded. Why wouldn't the material above the channel collapse into the newly formed channel since that material was still wet. Or was the upper material dry and the lower material wet. Here is more like we would expect an underground flow to look like:
Now, why would it be obvious to me, or any of us, that the channels in the Muav were carved by subsurface flows? HBDWhoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for... I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca "Nothing is easier than to persuade people who want to be persuaded and already believe." - another Petrarca gem.

Faith writes: The Muav channels were clearly formed after the strata were all in place by liquefied limestone running between the layers. This is, once again, a bald declaration with no supporting evidence. What is it that you see in the evidence that makes it "clear" that they were "formed after the strata were all in place"? By the way, liquified limestone is not a naturally occurring geological compound but is something you can buy online:
quote: Actual limestone does not liquify. If you heat it then it "decomposes to atmospheric carbon dioxide and CaO (calcium oxide, or "quick lime," a powder)." See Can limestone become a liquid? What you're probably talking about is limestone in suspension in water. What are you looking at in the evidence that tells you that limestone saturated water caused the topology of the Mauv Limestone? --Percy

Riverbeds are usually lined with pebbles and rocks in my personal experience. The tight-looking contact between the different limestones in that picture has none.

The bottom image shows where the fungal combs were found in that location. In the upper section they were found within the roots.
Paleosols were probably just organically rich soils that were compressed in the laying down of the strata. Preserved intact through a raging flood? With root systems and fungal combs in place? Rather implausible I would say.
Those pictures don't help I'm afraid. I can't picture how the items were found in situ from such displays. That's just simple denial and unwillingness to consider evidence. Good show.

The relative straightness of the contact between it and the redwall suggests the dissolution occurred after the strata were already there, or it should have been the redwall that filled in the channel rather than the different Temple Butte limestone. Acid water cut the channel in the Muav through which a liquefied Temple Butte limestone flowed. It's all different limestones, and there are no pebbles in your riverbed.

Not denial at all. I simply have no idea what you are talking about and the pictures don't help.
Preserved intact through a raging flood? With root systems and fungal combs in place? Rather implausible I would say. What's with this "raging" bit? The only raging part would have been at the very beginning and then it most likely quieted down as the water rose over the land. And I find nothing implausible in its having been dislodged with its roots intact. It probably floated pretty well too before getting buried in the sediments. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Have you examined the contact between the Temple Butte Fm and the Muav Limestone to determine if there are indeed no pebbles and stones there? No, you haven't.
Others have and they determined that they were in fact stream beds. You can't make out a clear image I posted of paleosols and in situ roots, but you can tell from a picture taken from probably 100+ yards away that there is no stream bed debris in the bottom of those channels that are cut into the Muav. Come on, your just making stuff up. HBD Edited by herebedragons, : No reason given.Whoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion.

Yeah, well that's the way it is. I see what I see. Accusing me of foul motives is pretty cheap debate form.
The "others" who determined that the channels were stream beds couldn't see it any other way because they assume that it was originally on the surface because of their belief in OE theory. Paradigm influence. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

So how did the Temple Butte limestone flow between the Redwall and the Muav in this image:

Accusing me of foul motives is pretty cheap debate form. I didn't address your motives. I am questioning your ability to make rational conclusions about images you see on your computer screen. ABE: Ignoring evidence presented to you while going on and on about how no one has ever rebutted your assertions is what is bad debate form. ABE2:
The "others" who determined that the channels were stream beds couldn't see it any other way because they assume that it was originally on the surface because of their belief in OE theory. Paradigm influence. Now who is using the motivations of others as a debate tactic? Hint: it's YOU! HBD Edited by herebedragons, : No reason given.
