How were the Marble Arch Caves formed?
Over 300 million years ago, in the Carbiniferous period, Fermanagh was covered by a shallow, tropical ocean. Millions of shells of tiny sea creatures fell to the ocean floor after death. Compaction built up all these Calcium Carbonate shells into a 'blocky' rock called Carbiniferous Limestone.
