SAND BOTTOM CAVE


Position:

Field notes: D. K. ROGGY

Cavers: R. S. Stewart, D. K. Roggy, E. Slack

Time in: 14:00 EST, Time out: 15:00 EST

THREAT VULNERABILITY: Low

A shelter cave described in Jamaica Underground as having an entrance over 30m high, about 45m above the glade floor. That seems about right. The bottom, true to the name had sand on it. Another large shelter cave was just to the right of it, from the perspective of one standing in the glade down below. A lot of swallows roost in the roof of the cave and were flying around constantly. Elizabeth found a small skull, to my mind a mongoose, and some small jaw bones with sharp teeth that reminded me of rabbit's jaws.
