AA CAVE (Harper 2008) no. 13

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A closed depression without identified shape or dimensions, which possibly represents a collapse doline or a subsidence sinkhole, exposes gaps between gravitationally dislocated sandstone boulders (Harper 2008.02.08 Mss: Cave no. 13.pdf). ETYMOLOGY: No locally known name has been identified for this karst surface feature (note 1). SITUATION: According to Harper (2008.02.08 Mss: Cave no. 13.pdf), a local guide [is] essential to explain the whereabouts this closed depression, which was understood to lie somewhere near Asakgre. According to the recorded GPS position (note 2), however, Cave no. 13 lies in the Chibanda area (note 3) above the north-west (orographically left) bank of the Rompa (Rompha) River and about 185 m in a direct line approximately to the west (–12.4 m north and –184.9 m east) of the insurgence entrance to –>Dangedkol, the first of the two 12th caves of –>AA Cave (Harper 2008). CAVE DESCRIPTION: Harper, Rob (2008.02.08 Mss: Cave no. 13.pdf) noticed the possible existece of multiple small caves in the floor of a sandstone collapse but only closer inspection of the gaps between the fallen boulders may reveal the absence or presence of a few cave entrances or two, which are not only big enough for soil dwelling fauna but also for humans.ce of multiple small caves in the floor of a sandstone collapse but only closer inspection of the gaps between the fallen boulders may reveal the absence or presence of a few cave entrances or two, which are not only big enough for soil dwelling fauna but also for humans.
