Description
Morphology
a vast doline cut on an important fault continues through a gallery along a bedding joint. After a narrow passage, the cavity ends in a small chamber.
Progression
a strong draft was filtering through the scree, and a rapid digging allowed the opening of a descending diaclase to be cleared.
