Description
Morphology
Cavity formed by an elongated fissure accessed through a lateral opening. The central zone of the cave is the most morphologically developed.
Speleothems
The central zone is where the reconstruction process is most evolved, with the walls covered by a thick crust of concretion. At the end of the cave, a highly evolved clastic process has materially obstructed the continuation with large blocks that were subsequently covered by carbonates and stalagmites, later fractured by the tectonic movements of the terrain.
History
Explored and surveyed in the spring of 1993 by members of GE Badalona.
