Caratteristiche

Località

On the path parallel to the cliff that runs from the Balcón to the Corrales de la Simona, approximately 3 km after the junction with the Bardoitzar path, after the Seminijaini clearing, on the right-hand side of the path, an abandoned quarry opens in a clearing. Crossing the clearing towards the balcón and on its right-hand side (N), at the boundary between the clearing and the forest, is the wide fissure perpendicular to the balcón.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is a wide fissure perpendicular to the balcón with abundant vegetation. The fracture has a direction of 265º - 85º sexagesimal and opens a mouth of 4x11 metres. After a small drop one reaches a cone of humus debris. A steeply inclined ramp running East and 16.4 metres long leads to a horizontal platform. In a West direction from the cone there is a small side hole that gives way to a meander of 17.4 metres.

Concrezioni

In the upper part of the horizontal platform a small recess opens, its floor covered with Moon-milk. In the meander, the floor is carpeted with tiny gours, with small gours of downward development in its first metres, and a little further on it rises gently to a ramp of concretions that closes the passage. The walls present concretion granules over red flowstone.

Idrologia

Water seeps through the small recess in the upper part of the platform.

Progressione

After a small drop one reaches a cone of humus debris; a steeply inclined ramp running East and 16.4 metres long leads to a horizontal platform. In a West direction from the cone, a small side hole gives way to a meander of 17.4 metres that rises gently to a ramp of concretions that closes the passage.

Altri dettagli

A little above the recess with the Moon-milk floor, remains of a cervid skeleton were found. At the entrance of the meander a few rodent skeletons were found on a floor carpeted with small gours.
