A tiny cave 3 m deep in the Coma Oriola (la Masella, Cerdanya), explored and catalogued on 16 July 2015 by members of the grup de l'espeleodijous.

Caratteristiche

Località

From la Masella (Alp) one must take the road that climbs to the refugi de la Pleta de Das and continue onward to the point where it crosses the llera de Coma Oriola (ski lift at the Costa Pelada). From here one must go up the valley for some 800 metres and a drop of a little more than 100, until finding on the right (left hydrographic slope) a craggy relief bounded by scree slopes on its eastern side, which must be surmounted, and where all the cavities are located.

La Bauma Petita is found at the foot of a cliff in the central zone of the aforementioned reliefs.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A shelter about 8 metres wide, 2 high and 3 metres deep, originating in the N sector as a small concavity half occupied by a large block.

All the caves and crevices located in the zone are residual cavities, probably vestiges of other climatic circumstances. It is undeniable that the valley bears the imprint of a glacial past, and even today the action of ice widening the fracturing structure is responsible for small cavities and for the great extent of these fragmentation scree slopes.

Altri dettagli

The original physiognomy of the Coma Oriola (according to the ICGC: Comaoriola), has been profoundly altered by the imprint of the ski station, since a piste runs through this valley.

In summer and therefore out of season, the excavators, concrete mixers, etc. have extraordinarily transformed the bed of the basin, widening it and modifying its margins, making vegetation and original soils disappear, burying channels...

Storia

Although some of the cavities had certainly been observed by skiers and mountaineers who travel through the zone, they had never been the object of speleologists until on 16 July 2015, members of the grup de l'espeleodijous proceeded to the exploration, study and cataloguing of a good number of cavities in the zone.
