Description
Morphology
A 4 X 2.5 metre entrance and a 13.5-metre-deep shaft that leads to a chamber 15 metres wide with an irregular floor, full of blocks and sloping towards the north, which connects with two other chambers, the first of them by overcoming a narrow vertical passage.
Speleothems
In the last chamber we find, in profusion, spectacular rhombohedral calcite crystals.
Progression
The continuation is presented through a 20-metre crawlway that leads to the last chamber.
History
The first exploration corresponds to Ll. Auroux and F. Sas (GIE) on 7 December 1964.
Very probably, and judging by all the available indications, this cavity is the Forat de Costarrobres cited by Jeannel in 1910.
