Description

Morphology

Cavity opened in Jurassic limestone, formed by two nearly parallel fissures, opened along two subvertical joints trending SW-NE, 2.5 m apart and cut transversely by minor joints; in one of these a passage is open, which connects the two fissures at the bottom.

Hydrology

The cavity lies at the bottom of a small grassy slope and collects the water that flows over it, both on the surface and beneath the grass turf.

Other details

This is a cavity of chemioclastic origin, in a less advanced stage than the previous one.
