Description
Morphology
Fine 10 m x 10 m porch followed by a slightly ascending gallery that passes to 4 m x 2 m and then descends to a large collapsed block that is bypassed on the right. The gallery then narrows considerably over a few metres and turns towards the south-east (- 6 m); then one enters a vast straight gallery 4 to 7 metres wide, 50 metres long and 15 metres high. A few small side passages are visible in the wall.
Speleothems
Calcited floor with a regular slope.
Hydrology
Flooded zone at the back (depending on the seasons) with a muddy floor, bottom at - 18 m.
Other details
Urgonian limestones of the Gargasian near a fault with the same direction as the cavity, whose trace (slickenside) is found on the south wall of the hall. At the lake, dip direction 130° and value - 45°.
