Carlsbad was made by sulfuric acid dissolving the limestone 250 million years ago, as part of a reef complex along the edge of an inland sea.
Oil and gas deposits and rich in hydrogen sulfide was forced into the limestone at the edge of the basin. When this encountered oxygen-rich rainwater moving down through the rock, it created sulfuric acid. This acid dissolved the limestone creating cave passages
