A very well-ventilated Aven whose triangular entrance leads down a chute-like shaft to a high chamber, then to a second shaft blocked by dry clay.
Description
Morphology
A triangular entrance 0.5 metres across, against a boulder, gives access to a chute-like shaft of 17 metres ending on a sloping scree slope in a high chamber with calcited walls.
At -6, a looping passage forming a rock bridge rejoins the shaft. At -14, a small window gives access to a second shaft of 8 metres.
Speleothems
The high chamber has calcited walls.
Progression
The triangular entrance leads to the chute-like shaft of 17 metres, which ends on a sloping scree slope. At -6, a looping passage forming a rock bridge rejoins the shaft; at -14, a small window gives access to the second shaft of 8 metres. The bottom is irremediably blocked by dry clay. No continuation.
Other details
We thought this Aven would connect with the gallery of the Aven du Camp d'argent, but it does not: it descends deeper without intersecting it. This Aven is very well-ventilated.
