U LIEH (Krem)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

The vertical cave entrance (in 1998 about 6 m by 4 m wide and mere 4 m deep) of a pothole descended down into a lost cave passage with a disputable name (note 1) and dubious identity (note 2), which has been said to have been blocked / covered when the road connecting Sutnga with Nongkhlieh and was built. SITUATION: About 10 m below the road and about 50 m from the road junction (note 3) where the roads between Sutnga, Tangnub (Tangnoob) and Nongkhlieh meet on the western scarp of the Shnongrim Ridge. Geologically just below the edge of the caprock (Kopili shales) in the uppermost section of the Kopili Limestone (Kopili Formation).The vertical cave entrance (in 1998 about 6 m by 4 m wide and mere 4 m deep) of a pothole descended down into a lost cave passage with a disputable name (note 1) and dubious identity (note 2), which has been said to have been blocked / covered when the road connecting Sutnga with Nongkhlieh and was built.
