Description
Morphology
A 23 m deep collapse fissure with two entrance mouths; one, slightly lower, leads by a ramp of blocks and a constricted passage down to the lower part of the higher mouth. The fissure continues in depth with rather narrow dimensions until it is closed off by blocks and sediments.
Other details
The neighbouring cavities: Avenc de les Quatre Boques and Cova de l'Olla de Ferro, form part of the same fissure, but are separated by an accumulation of blocks.
History
Located in the mid-1970s by X. Bellés, J. Comas and O. Escolà on a biospeleological outing.
Bio
Coleoptera: Troglocharinus (Speophilus) schibii (collected by Bellés, Comas and Escolà).
