PHLANKARUH Cave 3 (Lum Mawshun 2002)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to a so-called third cave visited (LUM MAWSHUN MINERALS 2002: 64), which contains not only cave passages at two distinct levels but also comparatively impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations (speleothems). Compare Krem –>Mawlieh (Harper 2001). SITUATION: The entrance to this cave is located at 64 m RL (note 1) and east of the mine block (note 2). CAVE DESCRIPTION: Some tens of metres after the entrance, this cave bifurcate into a branch in downward direction and a higher located gallery. No evidence of flowing water is encountered, which was also not expected due to the high elevation (LUM MAWSHUN MINERALS 2002: 64).An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to a so-called third cave visited (LUM MAWSHUN MINERALS 2002: 64), which contains not only cave passages at two distinct levels but also comparatively impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations (speleothems).
