Descrizione

Morfologia

It consists of a gallery 40 metres long excavated along a bedding plane of the sandy limestone beds of the Eocene, with small intercalations of siliceous conglomerates. The 5x1.5 metre entrance is half hidden by some blocks fallen from the roof where it meets the crag. One reaches a vestibule and a first stretch of gallery, up to 23 metres of passage, with a width of between 4 and 9 metres and a height of between 1.30 and 2.30 metres; the floor is formed by clay and sand sediments from the decomposition of the limestones. The ceiling is structured along a bedding plane.

Concrezioni
