| It is 28 km far from Sile; located at Emirbendi Mevkii; 1 km northeast of the Sortullu Village. It lies 100 m north of the Sortullu - Hacili road; situated on a karstic plateau opened into the triassic limestones with 20 degrees incline toward west. Den in walking distance to Sortullu and known by villagers was firstly mapped by the team. Situated in plateau called as "Goksu - Dikenli Part" of Teke Plateau by Ertek, especially the part between the villages of Hacili - Sevisli - Obeyli was suggested to have a developed karstification both in surface and in depth [Ertek 1995]. It starts horizontally with a triangle-like mouth of 1m in hight and 1.5m in width; and ends gradually narrowing with a soil deposit at 10 m in lenght. Cave elongates along fault in limestone. The base of the dens is covered with brown and thin soil. It is a dry cave. There is a karstic water resource rising to surface in few meter of distance. Brown bats and spiders were seen. |
