Many kinds of fossil marine animals are found embedded in Santee Limestone. This limestone, in solution, forms sinks and subsurface caves. Eutaw Springs, now flooded by Lake Marion, flowed from such channels. An impure limestone-bases clay known as "Cooper Marl" overlies Santee Limestone throughout the lowcountry. Both are primary raw materials in portland cement produced nearby.
