THE CAVES

Bue Marino -  “Sea Ox” Cave:

The cave is partially underground at the entrance and extends in a south-westerly direction for around 500m, reaching a depth of -3 to -6 m, one branch-off even reaching -13m. Beyond this, there is a large, dry tunnel around 100m long, containing the last explored siphon.

In the subterranean tracts and large lakes, notable concretions of stalactites and large-sized columns are visible. 370 m from the entrance, great deposits of sand begin to be present, continuing for around 200 m; this is a very gravelly, granular sand arranged in a wave-like structure. The distance between the crest and the granulometry (about 1 m) indicates that it was deposited by currents of certain force. Further along great rocky boulders appear, in part concretized; their surface and base are covered with scallops, 8-10 cm in diameter.
