My latest embark has been interesting.  Firstly its based on a custom set of world parameters with only 1 cavern layer. When I dug down I found a volcano like structure, complete with magma, in the cavern layer.  End result is I have a river, plenty of iron ore and magma all within 20 z levels of each other.

So far the only down side so fare is that I have not found any flux stone.

It's probably a high-reach magma pipe. Those are essentially volcanoes not reaching the surface. Or volcanoes are magma pipes that reach the surface.

You get more of those with higher volcanism. At 100 volcanism I think a region tile has like 20 or so scattered about. I only do 3x3 embarks but I've ran into a fort that had 3 of them once or twice.

import+melt, also still a chance for marble down deeper.

On a map with only one cavern layer it is going to be a bit less of a chance of getting marble, as the limited cavern layers really cuts down on the available layers.  Chances are, with a single cavern embark, if flux stone was not shown on the embark screen, you aren't going to find it.
