EXHUMED KARST

   A karstic outcrop which has been exposed by the erosion of an allochthonous cover; there is an implication that karstification (partial or complete) had preceded the removal of the cover [20].

   Mantled karst or buried karst which has been divested of its cover. It is the re-exposed portion of a former landscape [17].

   See also buried karst; exposed karst; mantled karst.
