Fossil vertical shaft of 50 metres in Urgonian limestones, with a flat floor of clay and stones.
Descrizione
Morfologia
Oblong entrance of 1.5 m x 1 m. It is a single vertical shaft 50 metres deep. The first part down to 6 metres widens to an average diameter of 3 metres. After 6 metres, the cavity rapidly enlarges into a fault perfectly oriented north/south, reaching 10 metres long by 4 metres wide. Then, at about 15 to 20 metres from the bottom, the shaft resumes the form of a cylinder 4 to 5 metres in diameter up to the arrival. The flat floor consists of clay and stones. Slight lateral hollowings bear witness to flows and enlargements attempted by visitors.
Idrologia
The cavity develops in the series of Urgonian limestones from the Valanginian to the lower Bedoulian. Fossil Aven with no trace of flow.
