Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Another cave entrance was found very close to Krem Lymbit, and the two caves are genetically related, originally forming parts of a larger cave (BREITENBACH et al 2010: 51). CAVE DESCRIPTION: Krem Lymbit 2, which lies just a few metres southeast of Krem Lymbit, certainly belonged to the eroded large cave system mentioned above. It shows traces of an episodically active small waterfall and is also inhabited by bats and spiders. The fine-grained sandstone shows traces of root channels, now coated with iron oxides. Both caves show signs of standing and running water from the latest monsoon season. No speleothems are deposited, pointing to a limited carbonate content in the sandstone and to undersaturation of the infiltrating waters with respect to CaCO3 (BREITENBACH et al 2010: 52). CAVE LIFE: … also inhabited by bats and spiders (BREITENBACH et al 2010: 52). Keywords: Chiroptera, Arachnidae: Araneae: conf. Sparassidae: Heteropoda sp.
