Caves with Conglomerats lithology

Conglomerates are rocks of rounded pebbles bound by a cement that, when calcareous, can also dissolve —this is how cavities form through a process halfway between classic karst and mechanical erosion. The walls usually retain the characteristic texture of the embedded pebbles, a trait that visually distinguishes a cave in conglomerate from one in massive limestone.

1069 cavitats (739 coves i 330 avencs) with lithology Conglomerats are part of the catalogue. Most are found in Mura, Matadepera and la Granadella. CUBERES, COVA, amb 13513 m de recorregut.

La litologia Conglomerats és una roca sedimentària detrítica formada per còdols arrodonits cimentats, sovint amb una matriu calcària que també permet la dissolució.
