Description

Morphology

Initial shaft of 8 metres, opened to the exterior by collapse. In an E direction, a short continuation between blocks and a fault plane. To the W it widens considerably, with the section divided into multiple parts by blocks until reaching elevation -15. Except for a flowstone at the final part, a total predominance of clastic morphology.
