The aven de Goule Sèche, or aven du Mazel n° 2, on the Causse Noir at Revens in the Gard, develops 55 metres of galleries for 33 metres of depth in the Upper Bathonian limestones.
Description
Morphology
The cavity develops in the Upper Bathonian limestones. It has a known development of 55 metres for a total depth of 33 metres.
At about 15 metres of depth, a small orifice about 60 cm in diameter, located on the left, allows the descent to continue in the shaft. On the right, a small chamber gives access to an ascending gallery of about 8 metres.
The main continuation leads to a shaft of about 12 metres. At a depth of about 20 metres, a lateral window allows access to a small pocket comprising an impenetrable start and a secondary shaft, also impenetrable, of about 3 metres of depth.
Progression
The underground access begins with a diverticulum about 5 metres long, which opens into the axis of an inclined shaft corresponding to a joint. This first passage can be descended by climbing, according to the historical description.
Other details
The dimensions and description are those published in December 1991 in the speleological bulletin La Baume Écrite n° 4. The current state of the cavity and its equipment has not been verified.
