Description
Morphology
The entrance opens in a shallow trench and leads to a small, not very wide shaft 5 metres deep. At its base the fissure can be followed down a ramp of small rubble, one metre wide, until reaching the deepest point of the cavity. From here one can climb back up through the crack until reaching the passage blocked by boulders.
Other details
Geospeleology: The pit develops along a NE-SW joint (50-230) that cuts a level of carbonate rocks (marbles, limestones, dolomites) with an approximate dip of about 26º towards the WSW (258/26). The carbonate level has a thickness of decametric order and is intercalated in a metalutitic and metarenitic series.
History
Discovered and explored by members of the GERS of the AE Muntanya around the year 1999.
