Description

Morphology

An entrance of good dimensions, with a length of more than 5 metres, gives way to a single 18-metre shaft with an important accumulation of clastic products in its middle half. At its base, on a slight slope and partially occupied by blocks, the point of maximum depth is reached.

History

Cavity discovered by members of the Espeleo Club Tortosa in June 1994, at the same time that the avenc de la Crisi (MC-100) was discovered, although this one was explored some time later.
