Sinkholes developed in the Paleozoic carbonate rocks within the James Bay lowland of Canada consist of pre-glacial sinkholes and post-glacial sinkholes. Most of the pre-glacial sinkholes were identified in the Upper Silurian Attawapiskat limestone at the Process Plant site after the thin peat and un...
