A porch at the foot of a small overhanging cliff leads to a narrow fossil meander opening into a vast fossil gallery formed as a forced conduit.
Description
Morphology
A fine entrance porch at the base of a small overhanging cliff gives access to a fairly narrow fossil meander. This opens into a vast fossil gallery formed as a forced conduit.
Progression
The upstream end of this gallery is quickly choked, and the downstream section can be followed for about a hundred meters: after a P10, one soon comes up against a substantial clay choke.
