Marine bio-erosion cavities in metamorphic limestone, weathering rates, and the post glacial land rise in Salten, North Norway.

Marine mollusk activity initiate erosion cavities in marble and dolomite in the Saltsraumen littoral zone. Such cavities are gradually exposed above sea water by the still on-going eustatic rebound since the last Ice age. The diameter of cavities observed above the high tide zone plotted against alt...
