Description

Morphology

A succession of joint-controlled pits leads to -20 in a chamber measuring 5x3x6 m. At the bottom of this chamber opens a fine 16 m pit. At its base, one can reach a horizontal fossil gallery 30 m long or continue along the cave through a widened meander. At the end of the meander, one can either descend an obstructed P6 or reach a chamber measuring 6x3x4 m via a dangerous boulder choke. In the chamber, a 12 m pit gives access to the lowest point of the cave.
