Default Mystery holes.



I stumbled across this earlier today. Below is the quote and link to
picture.

Although I've seen several areas with similar holes, this particular
set is right next to Bastrop Bayou, near the bridge where CR 227
crosses over it. Approximate lat/long is N29.094 W95.290.

Usually the holes are near a body of water: a river, stream, bayou,
canal, etc. And they are always water filled.

Any ideas?

Could be geologic sinkholes? Underlying limestone dissolves in acid-
bearing water and caves in underneath?

They look too regular to be natural sinkholes to me. I wonder if they're
abandoned sulphur mining drill holes. The area is known for extracting
sulphur by pumping superheated water down to deposits to melt the
mineral, which is then forced to the surface with compressed air.

Sinkholes, areas where the ground at the surface has collapsed downwards due
to underground erosion or subsidence.
