Description

Morphology

A boulder bridge masks the entrance of Un fine 26 m pit that widens as it opens into a vast fracture running NE/SW. One lands on Un scree slope that continues descending to -36, the lowest point of the pit. Opposite the arrival point, the scree gives access to an ascending joint that ends at -20 at a narrowing.

Other details

The cavity is cut in the limestones of the Pique de Bec de l'Albien inférieur, with the presence of numerous fossils. It develops along a fracture parallel to a fault marked on the geological map and which passes nearby.
