Observations morphologiques dans l’abîme de Maramoye (Le Beausset, Var)
Bigot, Jeanyves
Abstract:
Morphological observations in the Maramoye pit (Le Beausset, Var) - Maramoye pit is a two-levels cave around the Beausset Clay, and near to a 6 Ma old lava flow. On one hand, the description of the deposit’s cuts, and of galleries features, on the other hand, show a run of events whose relative chronology can be recreated. The siliceous cover, developed by the crypto-corrosion, then the volcanic event and at last, the “red event” showing limestones out of their siliceous toping, stand for the great phase inferred from observations in the cave. The upper level galleries morphology shows a connection between lower and upper levels linked by a “puits-cheminée” (phreatic lift). The corroded speleothems and partly removed fillings point out a flooding of the upper level. It has not been possible to show obviously that one or other levels of Maramoye is formed before the other. In compensation, the observations suggest that the lower level after the basaltic event have been picked up, so that the paleogeographic precing back get complicated.
