Artzunbide Aitzulo

A pit with a 25 m first shaft and a depth of -84 m, located on the north slope of a syncline beside the Sarasa path.

Valle de Yerri/Deierri 84m

A pit with a 25 m first shaft and a depth of -84 m, located on the north slope of a syncline beside the Sarasa path.

Caratteristiche

Località

Take the path leading from the tunnel toward the Sarasa pool and climb a steep slope of about 300 m until reaching a pyramidal structure that closes off the pit. The entrance is located on the north slope of a syncline whose approximate axis is the Sarasa path and which is broken by the Zumbelz fault on its west flank.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The first shaft has a depth of 25 m and opens among Eocene limestones, quite exfoliated in their upper part; in this first section the chemical erosion is clearly noticeable, leading into an orogenic joint of N-S direction and fairly large dimensions. From this point the rock becomes increasingly hard (marbles). Along one vertex of the joint the highest point of a debris cone is reached, giving the elevation of -68 m. From here one descends along a steep debris ramp that leads into a chamber of 7 by 8 m.

Concrezioni

In the clayey vados, lithogenic phenomena and some dripping are seen.

Idrologia

At the end of the ramp a maximum water level is clearly noticeable at -84 m; this is surely the maximum base level of the syncline.

Progressione

Through a small crawlway among debris one descends the ramp to some clayey vados.
