Pleistocene Vertebrates from Greenbrier Valley Caves

2017
Every cave has the potential to be a repository of Pleistocene and older bones and past life. The Greenbrier Valley Karst in particular has a rich repository of late Pleistocene faunal remains. Cave entrances lend themselves to be nesting places for birds of prey who deposit the bones of their meals onto cave floors.

Terrestrial Fauna in the Greenbrier Karst

2017
The West Virginia cave fauna includes species that leave caves periodically to forage (cave crickets and bats) as well as permanent inhabitants (both species that are limited to caves [troglobionts] and ones that occur elsewhere [troglophiles]). Troglobionts are the best studied, but troglophiles predominate in many caves. Major sources of food for the

Petrology and Paleogeography of Greenbrier Formation

AAPG Bulletin, 1949
This paper describes the petrology and paleogeography of the Mississippian Greenbrier formation as determined from study of well samples, insoluble residues, heavy minerals, and thin sections. In the Greenbrier formation, clastic limestone beds composed of lime sand, oolites, and quartz sand alternate with beds of fine-grained limestone in which ...

Cave Density of the Greenbrier Limestone Group, West Virginia

Papers in Applied Geography, 2015
The Greenbrier Limestone Group, known in West Virginia as the “Big Lime,” is an extensive, calcium-pure limestone unit of Mississippian Age (350–340 million years). Deposited in a shallow ocean basin during the Carboniferous, the Big Lime is more than 1,000 feet thick in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia.

The Greenbrier Karst

2017
The segment of the Appalachian karst known as the Greenbrier karst is located in the lower valley of the Greenbrier River in southeastern West Virginia. The karst is developed in the Mississippian Greenbrier Limestone which thickens from 100 to 365 m northeast to southwest.

Hydrology of the Greenbrier Karst

2017
Studies of the karst drainage systems of the Greenbrier limestone in southeastern West Virginia began in the early 1960s and were the first to make extensive use of water-tracing techniques and cave mapping in the USA. The carbonate aquifer is about 400 ft (120 m) thick in the Swago Creek area west of Marlinton (Pocahontas County) increasing to 1000 ft

The Subterranean Aquatic Fauna of the Greenbrier Karst

2017
The Greenbrier Karst harbors 16 species of stygobionts known from 92 caves, and six of these caves are type localities of ten of the species. The fauna is dominated by crustaceans and especially amphipods of the genus Stygobromus, and they primarily occupy vadose streams and the epikarst, but are notably absent from phreatic waters. Stygobromus spinaus
