What town with a spanish name and famous underground caverns i approximately 80 miles west of mason?

The town you're referring to is likely Carlsbad, New Mexico. It is famous for the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, which features a stunning network of underground caves and formations. Carlsbad is located approximately 80 miles west of Mason, Texas. The caverns are a popular tourist destination, known for their breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites.

Hardly likely. They are just inert lumps of igneous rock.

How long ago was carlsbad caverns was formed?

A web-site devoted to the cave's geology(rozylowicz.com) gives passage inception in already-fractured Permian limestone, as 20-30MA, after uplift had advanced sufficiently for karst development to start. I have also seen elsewhere an age of <4MA, but that was based on analysis of minerals in one area of the system. I would though treat Rozy Lowicz's work with some caution because it implies the cave's large passages and chambers were formed by collapse, not dissolution. This cannot happen. Collapses fill caves, not form them. For breakdown to occur, there has to be a void for the weakened rock to collapse into; and in the active phase of the passage the stream erodes fallen rock away. A karst cave passage can only be formed by a stream; but infilled by blockfall as percolation water attacks the rock surrounding the joints in the roof rock. Far more likely the dry passages in Carlsbad Caverns are like those in any fossil cave (including a far more modest caveI am helping explore): the original streams have changed courses or disappeared altogether; and the dry passages are now decaying.

How old are the rocks in carlsbad caverns?

This applies to any cave:You may find a respondent who can tell us the particular answers for Carlsbad caverns, but assessing a cave's age is by no means easy! All I can say for certainty is that the Limestone is far, far older than the caves it contains.If you mean by that the age of the rock in which the cave lies, you'd need to refer to a geological map of the region. The stratigraphical column at the side of the plan, or in an accompanying text, will show you theage-range of the limestone from its origins as sea-floor sediment.To find the age-range of the uplands in which the cave lies - which will give the cave's limit of age - you'll need to find out which period of tectonic activity was responsible for the uplift. This process alone takes millions of years.If you mean the age of the cave, you'll have to trawl through the published research on the particularcave.Establishing a particular cave's age is an extremely complex affair requiring considerable understanding of the local geology, hydrology and the principles of cave formation,and specialist laboratories toanalyse sediments and calcite deposits.Even then it can only be an approximate age range, for major, complex, multi-levelcaves take hundreds of thousands of years to develop - and if any of their passages are still carrying a stream, they are still developing!The above might besummarised in the cave / national-parkmanagement's own publicity. I did try to find out myself but all the Internet did was direct me into a string of totally irrelevant advertisements for nothing at all to do with the cave!
