Descrizione

Morfologia

It is A gallery of about 150 metres of development presenting large chambers fairly similar to those of the grotto du Montou. Several ceiling collapses are noted along its length. Generally very humid, this gallery slopes down to -40m.

Concrezioni

Beautiful traces of ancient hydromorphism are visible, with very representative gours at mid-length. Shortly before the clayey step, massive stalactites emerging very locally in the conglomerate are noted, rather surprising. A beautiful vertical cascade of calcite is located above the clayey step.

Progressione

Access is via A porch of 2 m x 1.3 m opening onto A small sloping chamber at the bottom of which A short squeeze reveals A much vaster gallery bending at 90°. Halfway along, A slippery clayey step of 3 metres must be crossed to reach the end of the gallery; it lies beneath A beautiful vertical cascade of calcite.

Altri dettagli

A violet coloration of the rock is also noted in A precise area on the wall, very similar to azurite, on A rock rich in copper. A specialist's opinion welcome!
