Abstract

The Florida Panhandle provides numerous examples of solutional limestone features, also referred to as karst. Archaeological evidence indicates that paleo-Indian cultures used many of these sites as both water sources and communal areas. One specific site, the Falling Waters State Recreation Area, is a locale where paleo-Indians are suggested to have once hunted mammoth. Additionally, this site provides a location where several different types of karst features are observed. Uniformitarians suggest that all of these karst features formed over the course of tens to hundreds of thousands of years. In following the Young-Earth Flood Model we would suggest that these features developed over the course of a few thousand years. We would interpret these features as probably originating at the close of the Flood with continued development extending throughout the single Ice Age Timeframe. Wet weather conditions coupled with changes in sea-level were the greatest factors in forming this karstic terrain.
