| It is located in the Kartiçi Mevkii; 12 km southeast from Taskale Town; which is in Yesildere Valley; east of Karaman. It is on a plateau type surface cracked by the rivers with a declination towards the Konya Meadow; approximately 2 km south of Incesu; and Asarini Caves. It was developed as a sinkhole type cave in north-south direction; on the basin of a uvala; which is situated on the upper section of a paleovalley; that was cut through by Incesu Stream; and left suspended. The cave which extends in NE-SW direction has two entrances. The first entrance is at the basin of the uvala; and the other is in the natural chimney at the end of the cave. The upper section of the chimney is at +5m above the main entrance. Its basin is filled with soil; sand; pebbles; and debris from external sources and there are almost no dripstone formations. It was researched by the Geological Studies Department of MTA General Directorate; and published under the title "Kartiçi Magarasi" in 2005. |
